Hello CCSD Community
We are back! We took a little break as we shared about the 19th Annual Cause Conference. Here is our bi-weekly Conscious Capitalism content share. We hope you find it informative and inspirational.
In the news
When mother nature has her own plans, such as the recent hurricanes that pounded the U.S. and its territories, businesses can close down and prevent as much loss to themselves or choose to be there for their community. “Mattress Mack” of Houston chose the latter and hundreds of people’s lives were given a little comfort and kindness in a time of need. Here is a list of what other company’s have pledged to support the relief efforts. Puerto Rico, American Virgin Islands, Houston, Florida and other U.S. areas still have a long way to go to recover. Links above share some ways you can support the relief efforts.
Impact
“People want companies to treat them with dignity,” he reflected, “and this was never clearer to me than that week when our gift of over $100 million was overshadowed by a raise that by comparison cost us very little.” A great aha moment for the CEO of Curriculum Associates.

Inspiration
On September 8, 2017, 400 attendees embarked on a journey to maximize their impacts through the power of purpose at the 19th Annual Cause Conference. Collectively, purpose-minded marketers, nonprofit leaders, business executives, and social entrepreneurs learned and shared ideas and strategies for solving big problems with purpose-driven solutions. CCSD couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this community. More photos can be found HERE.
