Can businesses prioritize people and the planet while remaining profitable?
In short: Researcher Anu Puusa explores the power of cooperatives—businesses owned and controlled by their members—to demonstrate how profit and social impact can coexist.
This video examines the model of cooperativism as a potential alternative for those who believe modern capitalism is broken. Unlike traditional corporations, cooperatives are owned, operated, and controlled by their members.
By aligning business goals with the needs of local communities and the environment, Puusa argues that these organizations make it possible to do good business and do good simultaneously.
