Agenda
What if growth and profit for companies could coexist with ethics, respect for people and the environment? For 50 years, a movement of change makers has been proving that it is possible to work, produce, and manage differently.
This is the focus of the thought-provoking documentary, 'Responsible: There is no business to be done on a broken planet'.
Produced by Welcome to the Jungle and ELIOTNESS, delves into how companies can align growth and profit with ethics, sustainability and social responsibility.
