When a Moment Becomes a Movement

Any business can make money. Extraordinary ones can change the world.

Redefining Business Success

The call for a broader definition of business success, incorporating social and environmental sustainability, is growing. The 2020 documentary Beyond Zero, by Stakeholder Business co-founder Nathan Havey, chronicles Ray Anderson's transformative journey with Interface, showcasing the opportunity for businesses to lead in sustainability.

This narrative inspires and serves as a blueprint for modern businesses to harmonize stakeholder interests and tackle today's challenges. By synthesizing Milton Friedman's focus on profitability and Ed Freeman's stakeholder theory, this approach unlocks the power of business to create value while solving critical problems.

Driven by social responsibility and sustainability awareness, the movement builds on concepts like Triple Bottom Line, B-Corps, Conscious Capitalism, and ESG. Beyond Zero highlights the transformative potential of purpose-driven businesses.

The Stakeholder Business Society, a network of CEOs, is committed to maximizing positive societal impact by aligning business models with desired outcomes, promoting sustainability, ethical practices, and integration of social, environmental, and economic factors.

You are invited to join us in this movement!
