| With Intel Mexico Country Manager |
There was a great session on corporate social responsibility
and why should businesses care for people and the planet. In attendance was
Carlos Slim Domit, world's richest man's (Helu) son alongside other three CEOs
of Unilever, Manpower and Groupo Bimbo. Audience listened attentively the
strategies and plans of the biggest companies of the world how they address the
gaps between the ones who have and who don’t.
Some important notes were:
-Lots of reasons to be hopeful despite the economic
difficulties; two billion more people coming in to middle class with demands
and gradual increase in world's GDP.
-If too many people are excluded from the system, things
will not prevail as they are. Equilibrium must be achieved and businesses can
play a role in this.
-CEO of Unilever said: 'If people can bring down a regime in
Egypt in 17 days, they can do it much easier for companies too.'
-CEO of Manpower company talked about being authentic as a
leadership team and living day in and out the social responsibility together
with employees.
I felt proud during the session working for a company that
changes the planet; educates the children; contributes through its employees;
and has a goal to enrich the lives of every citizen on earth. Important to
carry that pride with you at all times.
