A thoughtful, well researched and compelling way to rethink how to
assure that prosperity and fairness are linked * Deval Patrick,
Former Massachusetts Governor *
Presents a fresh, balanced, highly readable and deeply informed
case for how the pursuit of sustained financial success and the
exercise of social responsibility to employees, consumers and
society not only can-but must-go hand in hand if we are to have the
world we seek in the future. I learned a lot * John Pepper, former
Chairman and CEO of P&G *
More than ever before, this is the book our economy needs * Dr.
Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation *
Unwilling to settle for easy answers or superficial changes,
O'Leary and Valdmanis push us all to ask more of our economic
system * United States Senator Michael F. Bennet *
Striking in its clarity and insights borne from the authors'
experience as investors on the frontlines of capitalism's excesses
and potential. The case studies of some of the best-known companies
and investors don't pull punches while offering tangible examples
of the changes in culture and rules of the game required for a new
type of capitalism * Daniella Ballou-Aares, CEO and Co-Founder of
the Leadership Now Project *
Solving our biggest social and environmental problems means
reshaping the role that businesses play in our society. This
informative book addresses the challenges we face in achieving this
crucial transformation * Sir Ronald Cohen, Chair GSG (Global
Steering Group for Impact Investment) *
In today's reality, business represents a picture of
dysfunctionality, of excesses benefitting the few, of gross
injustice. Tomorrow's business leaders have an obligation to create
a different reality reflecting our better hopes and inspirations.
Accountable takes you on that journey. It's a wonderful trip
* Peter Georgescu, Chairman Emeritus of Young & Rubicam *
For decades the dominant view has been that the purpose of
companies is to make money for their shareholders. No more.
Combining compelling examples and analytical insights, O'Leary and
Valdmanis explain why the world is changing and provide a roadmap
for how shareholders and citizens can and must transform the
corporate landscape to save capitalism from itself * Oliver Hart,
Harvard University, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2016 *
The authors have been at the forefront of thinking on how markets
and business can better serve society for many years.
Accountable captures not only the history that underpins
modern-day corporate purpose, but its present and future. The
central message-that capitalism can and must be part of the
solution to society's greatest challenges-has never been more
important * Martin Whittaker, CEO of JUST Capital *
