How to Measure Corporate Performance Like People and Nature Matter? | Pavan Sukhdev | TEDxGateway

“Can today's corporation deliver tomorrow's economy?”

Even after a quarter-century of declarations for a green and circular economy, today’s world is still hurtling towards planetary boundaries, and the question we must ask is — why?

Through his ideas, Pavan talks about how the Private Sector has been measured, and they are in the Trillions of dollars. He explores the idea of how corporate externalities are the biggest free lunch in human history, and if one can really measure and value corporate impacts in our world.
