The United Nations has set a goal to free the world from hunger, poverty and HIV related deaths. But where does the money come from? Conscious capitalist Sahil Sethi identifies a sector resource-rich enough to make the UN’s ambitious goals a reality: the corporate world. By donating .7% of their annual profits to the UN goals, he believes corporations can make a game-changing positive impact on our global community.
