John Elkington | Keynote Speech on the Future of Business | B Corp Summit 2019
John Elkington, Founding Partner of Volans, gives a keynote speech at the B Corp Summit - held in Amsterdam in September 2019.
25 years ago John devised the phrase 'Triple Bottom Line' as a way to define an approach to business that works in the interest of People and Planet not just Profit - a phrase often taken as the backbone of all businesses that subscribe to the B Corp movement.
In this video John talks about the challenges we will face as a business community in the coming years from 'Black Swans' - problems that take us exponentially downwards.
At the same time he sees hope in the way we are starting to build 'Green Swans', solutions that take us exponentially upwards.
"Things that looked improbable, even impossible, are now becoming inevitable".
Can the B Corp movement scale at the pace that is needed in order to address these wider challenges?
