Conscious Capitalism is a new business paradigm that encourages companies to embrace purpose beyond profit. Conscious Capitalism believes that every business has a higher purpose – a purpose that includes, but is more than, making a profit. By focusing on its Higher Purpose, a business inspires, engages and energizes its stakeholders.
