• 04:40 PM – 05:20 PM – Shared Value: Delivering with PurposeHaving a corporate purpose that serves more than shareholders and includes community, customers, employees and the business is critical, but alone it is insufficient. Purpose matters when you put it into practice and deliver positive outcomes for society and business. A purpose-led company has a portfolio of strategies, policies, programs and practices that help it fulfill its purpose potential. One practice that I believe is the most powerful way to deliver on the promise of purpose is Shared Value.  Shared Value is a business discipline that enhances the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. Shared value creation focuses on identifying and expanding the connections between societal and economic progress.”
