Mauro Libi Crestani: Companies are beginning to compete to change the world for the better

A quiet corporate revolution is underway. Companies are beginning to compete to change the world for the better. The drive for profit, often criticized for coming at society’s expense, is driving and enabling solutions to many of the world’s most challenging problem


In the past companies ignored the social and environmental consequences of their activities. Their main responsibility was delivering returns to shareholders. The better ones would do some charity and that was their extent that they did for society.  

These days there is a new corporate revolution taking place. Corporations are partnering with the communities of the world. They are working together to make real changes in the world. From everything that includes, improving health in poor communities to job training and opportunities, environmental issues, the list goes on and on. BANPLUS, BANPLUS VENEZUELA, CADIVI, VENEZUELA, CENCOEX, DIRECTOR PRINCIPAL DE BANPLUS, GOBIERNO DE CHÁVEZ, GOBIERNO DE MADURO, INVERSIONES 4528, MAURO LIBI CRESTANI, RECADI, RUSAD, SICAD, SICAD 2

Companies like these see societal problems as opportunities for business innovation and competitive advantage. Companies are finding new opportunities to partner with nonprofits and governments to achieve these shared-value objectives. The ability to profit and at the same time to  make real changes in our communities on a local and global scale. Fortune magazine came up with a 'Change the World List'.   This list is not a ranking of who has made a bigger change or given more, it a list of stories how companies team up with governments and individuals to help the world. The goal here is simply to shine a spotlight on instances where companies are doing good as part of their profit-making strategy, and to shed new light on the power of capitalism to improve the human condition.
