OUR EVER-EVOLVING VALUES

Our globalized world is Unsustainable: A study of today’s globalization and the victims we can support through an impactful marketplace, is available here. 

 

Historically, much of the trading system was driven by maximizing value – in terms of economic value and profits. However, we have seen a recent shift to recognize the need for non-economic development and the balancing of non-economic value within corporate goals. This shift is indicative of the potential for a better future. With a new generation coming into spending power, impassioned to create a sustainable world, the pressure on public and private leaders will only continue to grow.

 

The globalized world we see today is continuously evolving. Because of this fluidity, we can create a more sustainable marketplace which addresses the human rights impact of our globalized world. After all, the complex and tangled web we see today is really quite immature. Of course, since the Silk Road (139 BCE) there have been international trading routes and a growing global marketplace. However, the technological progress and human innovation unleashed during the 20th Century has propelled us forward to a much more interconnected and capable moment.

 

Given this heightened capability, and in light of our raised expectations for ourselves and for the global community, we can mold our globalized world into a far more impactful marketplace. A marketplace that recognizes today’s victims and facilitates widespread progress towards a more sustainable globalization for tomorrow.
