General Assembly is back in session this week in New York for its big annual gathering. And while global leaders meet to discuss urgent issues facing the planet, many from outside government are seizing the chance to talk about how they can contribute to the greater good.<\/p>\n<p>Monday morning, I joined business leaders here in Manhattan for a conversation about how the private sector can and must play a greater role in driving social impact. We discussed the recent statement by the Business Roundtable on the purpose of the corporation \u2013 how it\u2019s got to be more than just creating value for shareholders. A few decades ago, that was the prevailing view. Now we\u2019re getting back to that vision of corporate social responsibility, and it\u2019s good for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>This is nearly mainstream. We\u2019re not there yet \u2013 it\u2019ll take time for companies to really build social impact into their work so that it goes beyond slogans or PR. But more businesses are on their way toward it becoming second nature. It\u2019s thrilling \u2013 in my opinion, one of the most exciting things happening in business today. The UN and other global organizations with convening power should look to harness the private sector\u2019s unique capabilities \u2013 our nimbleness, innovation, ability to scale, and financial resources \u2013 in their quest to build a healthier, more secure and more equal world.<\/p>\n<p>It was a good and important discussion with fellow panelists Kate Barton from EY, Tony Milikin from Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Guillermo Miranda from IBM.\u00a0Thanks also to Gillian Tett,\u00a0chair of the editorial board and editor-at-large, US of the Financial Times, for moderating.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14934 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/glginsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_8106-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2266\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14939 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/glginsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_8429-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Photo: (L-R) GLG Social Impact Director Jen Field and GLG Social Impact Fellow Minhaj Chowdhury<\/p>\n<div id=\"message\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Todd, CEO at GLG Photo: (L-R) IBM&#8217;s Guillermo Miranda, EY&#8217;s Kate Barton, me, FT&#8217;s Gillian Tett, and Anheuser-Busch InBev&#8217;s Tony Milikin The U.N.
