With social justice demands becoming more and more urgent on a global level, models exclusively based on economic growth are being increasingly challenged. In this context, businesses are prompted to rethink their contribution to society, not only through their capacity to make profit, but also to contribute to a wider, collective project for their communities and society as a whole.
