Sinopsis

The autors of this book are: Schwarz Gonzalo, Rehbinder Caspian, Liss Erik,,Agerup Martin, Heiberg Carl-Christian, Durana Radovan, Kamall Syed, Vaine Aneta
All around the world, the most critical public policy conversations revolve around the fields of social mobility and inequality. Despite widespread interest, there are many issues and questions that are either misunderstood or under researched when it comes to these fields. And in addition, for those seeking to make it easier to climb the income ladder, the terms inequality, poverty and mobility continue to be used interchangeably, further complicating many of our policy discussions, as these issues have different definitions and implications.
This book centers around the most vital of these topics, social mobility, and the concern that there is still no consensus on the main barriers to social mobility. Conducting a broader analysis of the relationship between structural factors and social mobility can offer important clues to understanding why even some developed countries are struggling to increase upward economic mobility.

Why Businesses Fail? S01E09

Amar Deshpande

Nearly two decades ago, there were two or three global standards for reporting the impact of large companies as they went about doing their business. The focus back then was on reporting something called the "Triple Bottom Line", which alluded to the planet, people, and profit (i.e. impact of business on environment, society as well as its financial impact). Then came the United Nations' MDGs or Millennium Development Goals, which were followed by SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals. In 2021, the Stock market regulator SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) made it mandatory for top 100 listed companies to submit their business responsibility reports.
Failure to operate a business in a sustainable manner poses a bigger risk today than ever before- from drop in share price, to challenges in recruiting high quality talent, and increased burden of compliance.
In other words, once it was optional to report on sustainable practices. Today, has it become a license to do business? Listen to a thought provoking interview of Gagan Singh, who is Director at CEEW (Council for Energy, Environment and Water). Gagan brings a depth of experience in sustainable reporting and how financial markets view sustainability. He shares specific examples of Indian companies- how market capitalization of a small green energy company is higher than that of the largest thermal power producer in India, and how a cement company was able to raise capital at lower cost in international markets by making commitments to reduce emissions.
This is an episode of Why Business Fail where one can learn a lot by simply listening and reflecting.
