Net Impact 2005 of Stanford GSB: 'Doing Good is Now Big Business'

If you could not attend the 2005 Net Impact Conference at the Stanford Graduate School of Business……you can instead access the audio-video of the presentation by the distinguished panelists on topics ranging from business and the environment, business in the nonprofit sector, corporate social responsibility, international development and socially responsible investing .

The conference served as a remarkably hopeful indicator that perhaps the world may pluck itself from the brink of ecological and social collapse after all. From the famous like Al Gore (former US vice president who now heads Generation Investment Management) to socially responsible business pioneers like Stonyfield Farm’s Gary Hirshberg and Working Assets’ Laura Scher, to entrepreneurial newbies like World of Good’s Priya Haji and BUILD’s Suzanne McKechnie Klahr, the message was clear: Business, government, and nonprofits are all serving as both independent and linked forces for positive social change.
