GENEVA (AN) — Ahead of its annual gathering in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos, the World Economic Forum released a universal mission statement for 21st century businesses on Monday that elevates the importance of doing good.
WEF's new "Davos Manifesto," titled “The Universal Purpose of a Company in the Fourth Industrial Revolution," is a call to put considerations about our planet and society on par with profit motives. Its updated ethical principles coincide with the international organization's 50th anniversary.
