Hello CCSD Community

Here is our bi-weekly Conscious Capitalism content share. We hope you find it informative and inspirational.

In the news

Conscious Capitalism movement co-founder, Raj Sisodia, recently connected with Black Rock founder and CEO, Larry Fink. Fink recently sent out a letter to some of the largest company CEOs, calling for them to focus on value creation for all stakeholders and to have a larger purpose than making profits. This, as you can imagine caught a lot of support, and a lot of push back. During their time together, Raj learned that BlackRock not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. Read more about it HERE.

Impact

Education and tech entrepreneur, Andrew Yang, is calling for capitalism to get an upgrade. We’d agree. He asks and shares thoughts on how we can change capitalism to focus on what humans really want and need. A  “new type of capitalist economy that’s geared toward maximizing human well-being and fulfillment.”
