Handle with Generations in Mind

What can a company do to support others: other people, employees, neighbors, associations, communities, other companies - even competitors? When faced with this question, many entrepreneurs scratch their heads and shortly after ask: Why should we do that? My answer to that: Because you have no other choice if your company is to survive tomorrow! Those who want to have the best employees in the long run and offer valuable services cannot avoid building a stable culture of values within the company. Trust is the currency of tomorrow! It is important to make decisions that are "generations-friendly," to set the course in a way that future generations can also live well with it. Companies have not been evaluated solely based on their financial gains for a long time. People increasingly expect companies to take on social responsibility. They should consciously and sustainably use the resources available to them. This applies to resources such as raw materials, employees, land, or expertise. The mandate for companies is: "Use our collective valuable resources so that we ALL have more value and grow tomorrow." This is not just a nice-to-have phrase! By law, all companies are already obliged to serve the common good with their economic actions. Starting this year, the EU is further obliging companies with over 500 employees. The legislator demands that, from the financial year 2017 onwards, in addition to the financial balance sheet, an ethics balance sheet must be published, answering the fundamental question: How do you deal with corruption, human rights, social justice, etc. Hand on heart! How generations-friendly are your decisions? Are they more of a shortcut for your personal gain, career advancement, and ego trip? Do you nurture a "devil may care" mentality? Or do you genuinely care about the well-being of others? What is valuable to you and how can you preserve it! I wish you the necessary foresight for your decisions. May they serve the common good.
