“Our Common Future” (1987) “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”
4
An adjective.. Capable of being maintained in existence without interruption or diminution
5
Sustainability = The ‘ability’ to ‘sustain’:..yourself.......a (global) system......or a company...
6
A growing group of people.....becoming more affluent......on a finite source Ecological degradationSocial instability Ability to sustain our planet Economic Scarcity
7
The ability to sustain a company in the long run very much depends on: A thorough understanding of how these trends will affect you and (the relationship with) your stakeholders The ability to identify structural trends on the markets you operate Source; ethical leaders in action
8
Creating Shared Value (CSV) Takes away the unnatural segregation of business and society...but business value “and” societal value “Societal needs, not just conventional economic needs, define markets, and social harms can create internal costs for firms” Not business value “or” societal value..or even business value “because of” societal value
9
CSR Value: doing good A limited CSR budget Separate from profit maximization CSV Value: economic and societal benefits relative to cost Realigning the entire company budget Integral to profit maximization CSV vs CSR
10
CSV vs Fair trade Both aimed at Creating Shared Value But Fair trade’s primary driver is to protect producers (and as a potential result increased value through higher quality produce) Whereas CSV’s primary driver is to create shared value, which will often translate to protection and higher prices for producers
11
CSV vs Impact Sourcing Source: the rockefeller foundation Impact Sourcing, or Socially Responsible Outsourcing, is also aimed at creating shared value But suffers from the same (image) problems as CSR (bolted on vs integrated)
12
Creating Shared Value A thorough understanding of how these trends will affect you and (the relationship with) your stakeholders The ability to identify structural trends on the markets you operate Source; ethical leaders in action

Collaborative partnership between IT companies in developed and developing countries Moderated by FTS Foundation IT Partners IT Providers Customers Small IT companies in developing countries Small and medium IT companies in OECD countries Large corporate enterprises, governments and large organizations
24
It’s not outsourcing – It’s a co-development partnership This approach increases job opportunities in a mutually inclusive and collaborative way: it retains jobs in developed countries while growing capabilities in developing nations. It’s not about Fair Trade – It’s using F T to create value This is not about Fair Trade per se. Fair trade is used as the key to shared value creation because it is a recognisable brand. This extends Fair Trade, in a way that adds value not cost.
