Advancing stakeholder research, education, and practice to benefit business and society.
New generations expect more from the companies they work for, buy from, invest in, and permit to operate in their communities. In response, businesses are broadening their value creation for a range of stakeholders and for their own competitive differentiation. This shift in business purpose requires innovation—in products, processes, policies—that can enhance the long-term success of both business and society.
