Why is this important ?
Creative Capitalism
Capitalism has improved the lives of billions of people — something that's easy to forget at a time of great economic uncertainty. But it has left out billions more.
So they are stuck in poverty, suffer from preventable diseases and never have a chance to make the most of their lives.
Governments and nonprofit groups have an irreplaceable role in helping them, but it will take too long if they try to do it alone. It is mainly corporations that have the skills to make technological innovations work for the poor.
To make the most of those skills, we need a more creative capitalism: an attempt to stretch the reach of market forces so that more companies can benefit from doing work that makes more people better off.
We need new ways to bring far more people into the system — capitalism — that has done so much good in the world.

Policies and practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates.(Porter & Kramer)
Shared Value
Find and expand the points of convergence between economic and social objectives, not assume tradeoffs or the need for redistribution
These points of convergence are growing (Porter)
Points of Convergence
Achieving shared value requires new thinking, new technologies, and new approaches to management
Shared value opportunities are even greater in developing countries (Porter)
