Concious Business Movement, by S. GUASCH

The founder of the Body Shop can be considered pioneer in the business consciousness movement. In 1976, Anita Roddick was a leading environmental activist and human rights advocate. Since then this movement has grown and developed in the business world. There we can include people and institutions that are or want to be aware of the impact their habits, actions or omissions have on the environment (people and things). It is the movement of people living in the belief that everything is interconnected and that they wish to live and work in creativity and solidarity rather than live in fear, power and domination.
The principal authors and personalities leading this movement are:

FRED KOFMAN

PETER MATTHIES

Founder of the Conscious Business Institute, he is an expert in the leadership of the new generation.



The principles that underpin the Concious Business Movement are:

1.    Do no harm

The products or services of the company need not be intrinsically harmful, neither for the people nor the environment. There are companies interested in understanding the positive or negative effects caused in the environment. These companies are increasingly taking corrective actions that are more socially and environmentally beneficial.

2. Triple attención

The "Triple Bottom Line Model" represents a triple simultaneous attention to people, the planet and profits. It Is the triple P: People, Planet and Profit.

People:

A conscious business seeks to benefit the internal and external live of both investors and employees. It also looks to include customers, suppliers and local or national communities in its areas of interest.

Planet:

A conscious business seeks to minimize its negative impact on the physical environment and restore it when necessary, possible and desirable.

Profit: (above and beyond)

All corporate action involves the search for added value (profits) which justifies that action and is beneficial to varying degrees for all stakeholders.

Some companies choose to use their resources to implement programs that are not directly related to the creation and distribution of its products or services. Some conscientious companies offer to non-profits the time of their employees, paid for by them, as well as money, useful products and even excess product. Sometimes, they may create a foundation for a particular cause or engage in social and political campaigns to protect people, the environment or animals.

3º "Conscious Business"

Being a conscientious company is not just about implementing a program for the community or establishinga foundation, rather, it’s about being aware of what as a whole is avoiding harm and promoting good. The term “conscious” means that the company wants and seeks to realize its positive and negative impacts and to take into account the inner and outside worlds,both short and long term. Although conscious companies are socially responsible, the term "conscious business" has major and far-reaching connotations.
