This short video from the Financial Times is relevant to students who are looking at businesses who are moving beyond their duty to maximise returns from shareholders. With an increasing number of companies refocusing their priorities beyond profit and towards the welfare of their suppliers, employees and the planet, Andrew Hill, management editor, asks what the repercussions are for business. The video includes a brief interview with the CEO of US business Whole Foods and LUSH the ethical cosmetics retailer.
