Jay Coen Gilbert, Co-Founder of B Lab, gives a keynote speech at the B Corp Summit - held in Amsterdam in September 2019.
Jay discusses the importance of systems change to move us from the outdated model of Shareholder Capitalism to a new evolution called Stakeholder Capitalism where business operates in the interests of all.
He talks of a new agenda centred on people, not profits and how B Corps are at the heart of this change, building a movement of leaders using business as a force for good.
"What got us here will not get us where we need to go. We need to address system failure. We must end shareholder primacy."
"This is not business as usual. Let's get to work."
