2 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress HOW DO WE MEASURE A NATION’S DEVELOPMENT? 2

3 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress In both economic and business development our understanding of success has been incomplete There is a powerful connection between economic and social development, both positive and negative Separating business and competitiveness from social progress and societal issues is a serious mistake THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT Economic Development Social Development 3

4 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress MEASURING NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT There has been a growing recognition of the need to go beyond GDP in measuring a nation’s performance A series of indexes have been introduced to do so: - Human Development Index - Millennium Development Indicators - Happy Planet Index - OECD Better Life Indicators - Legatum Prosperity Index 4

14 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX: KEY FINDINGS Economic development is necessary but not sufficient as a measure of national performance Some approaches to economic development are less effective than others in advancing social progress, and even counterproductive Just as economic development helps social progress, social progress can enable sustainable economic development The amount of government spending (as a percent GDP) is an incomplete explanation for social progress performance 14

20 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE SOCIAL PROGRESS IMPERATIVE: DRIVING TO ACTION The Social Progress Imperative is not just an Index, but a global effort designed to catalyze action at the country level. It aims to form and support National Committees of leaders and stakeholders in each country, and work jointly with them to mobilize policy changes and private sector initiatives. 20

21 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE Interpret and disseminate country level priorities for social progress improvement Pursue policy changes in priority areas for social progress, through cross-sector collaboration Foster improvements in local data collection and relevant research 21

22 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE ROLE OF BUSINESS IN SOCIETY Only business can create wealth and prosperity Business is facing growing scrutiny as the cause or a contributor to many of today’s societal challenges Corporate social responsibility efforts are greater than ever, but the legitimacy of business has fallen Government and NGO’s alone lack sufficient resources and capabilities to fully meet social challenges We need a new approach 22

23 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress Compliance with community standards Good corporate citizenship “Sustainability” Mitigate risk and harm Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Creating Shared Value (CSV) Philanthropy THE ROLE OF BUSINESS IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS Donations to worthy social causes Volunteering Address societal needs and challenges with a business model 23

24 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress SOCIAL NEEDS AND ECONOMIC VALUE CREATION 24 Social deficits create economic costs for companies Social needs represent the largest market opportunities Company Productivity Skills Worker Safety Environmental Improvement Education Water Use Energy Use Health Affordable Housing Community Economic Development

25 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress CREATING SHARED VALUE IN PRODUCTS AND MARKETS JAIN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS 25 Drip irrigation equipment for small farmers in Africa and India Serves more than 4 million farmers worldwide as of 2012 Reduces water use by over 40% Enables higher crop yields that improve food security while raising farmers’ income Jain is now a $820 million company that is rapidly growing

26 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress 26 SHARED VALUE IN THE VALUE CHAIN FIBRIA, BRAZIL Fibria, a large manufacturer of pulp for paper, utilizes planted eucalyptus trees rather than native and old growth forests The company supports and encourages small-scale producers near its mills to plant eucalyptus in conjunction with other crops, assisting them with technical training and inputs Fibria achieves far greater resource efficiency versus old growth forest production, with eucalyptus yielding 30 times higher yield per acre of wood pulp Small scale producers contribute 27% of the raw material volume utilized in Fibria mills, improving efficiency 4000 households have significantly increased their income

27 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE PURPOSE OF BUSINESS Our purpose in business is to create shared value for society, not economic value for its own sake Businesses acting as businesses, not as charitable givers, are arguably the most powerful force for addressing many of the pressing issues facing our society Shared value will give rise to far broader opportunities for economic value creation Shared value thinking will drive the next wave of innovation, productivity, and economic growth A transformation of business practice around shared value will give purpose to the corporation and represents our best chance to legitimize business again 27

28 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE SOCIAL PROGRESS COMMITTEE IN BRAZIL A network in Brazil is forming under the leadership of: - Fundación AVINA - Instituto Arapyaú - Instituto Ethos - Deloitte - Coca Cola Other potential partners include: - Vale, SA - Local chapter of WBCSD - CEAL 28

29 Social Progress Imperative#socialprogress THE CHALLENGE TO BRAZIL Is Brazil, as a leading emerging economy and steward of vital natural resources, willing to become a leader in advancing social progress and a role model for the emerging world? Is the business community in Brazil willing to embrace shared value as a way to engage directly in Brazil’s social challenges? Is government ready to move from solely government solutions to collaborating with the private sector to drive social progress through shared value solutions? 29
