The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that many businesses are under prepared for global-scale disruptions, with those that lack agility and resilience most impacted. As businesses prepare for future systemic risks, the principles of stewardship and their practical application will be crucial in determining how strongly and how quickly businesses recover after surviving the crisis.
There is now growing recognition that the companies that will thrive through disruption and volatility, are those that act responsibly with a long-term perspective, investing in building deep relationship with all stakeholders and the community. Stewardship is the key to help businesses build resilience, agility, and grow by turning setbacks into advantages. Explore how to start this transformational journey with co-authors of ENTRUSTED: Stewardship for Responsible Wealth Creation.
