IN THE NEWS: April 2025
On April 9th, I was in conversation with Professor Michael Posner (Professor and Director at the Center for Business and Human Rights at the Stern School of Business, NYU) about his book, "Conscience, Incorporated: Pursue Profits While Protecting Human Rights." The event was at the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business with Net Impact Berkeley, in partnership with the Center for Social Sector Leadership at Berkeley Haas. We discussed:
* Why voluntary commitments for businesses to uphold human rights are not enough
* Holding tech companies responsible if their actions or products adversely impact democracy and human rights
* Why corporate leaders should care about democracy and political stability
* How to work with multiple stakeholders to uphold human rights
* The role of business schools and the importance of training the next generation of business leaders
* Hope for the future and how to move forward
