"Forget legislative bonfires and tax cuts. To really stimulate the UK’s
flatlining economy, what about rewriting the rules of business so people and
the planet are on a par with profit?
It’s an idea put forward this week by the thinktank Demos. It called on
politicians to rewrite the UK’s Companies Act to inject purpose, as well as a
profit motive, into business. Doing so, it claimed, would provide a £149bn shot
in the arm for the UK economy.
It’s a direction that some companies have already moved in. B Lab UK, a network
of purpose-led businesses, says there are more than 1,600 such firms in the UK,
and counting."
