Purpose Pledge: Putting a Price on the True Cost of Business on Earth
by David Bronner
Prompted by a recent New York Times article, Les Szabo, Dr. Bronner’s Chief Impact & Strategy Officer and primary architect of the Purpose Pledge program, recently wrote a provocative blog critiquing billionaires who are walking back their “Giving Pledge” to donate half their wealth. Les challenges the flawed premises that allow billions to be accumulated at the expense of workers and the Earth in the first place — and argues that philanthropy alone cannot address the systemic inequalities and environmental damage at the heart of our global economic system. Reimagining capitalism to serve all stakeholders, not just shareholders, as Purpose Pledge does, offers a genuine blueprint and path forward.
