Kirkgate 1207 Breakfast Meeting Thursday 30th Sept, 7.30-8.45am
I’m keen to make use of an Economist article from 2005 “The Biggest Contract” which pushes business to re-conceive its role in more moral terms. It considers that business should be taking a proactive interest and lead on social, moral and ethical issues rather than simply reacting to criticisms of business from outside. In particular, we might ask ourselves the questions:
1. What are the particular social, moral and ethical issues that business should be leading on?
2. How does Kirkgate 1207 go about encouraging such a lead from within business?
