This second webinar in the series on September 16, from 9:00 to 11:30 am, featured the topic “Ethical Business”. The pandemic has unveiled inequalities and resulted to unemployment in many areas. At the same time, it has also displayed how companies can set aside self-interest to help their employees and society in time of the crisis. This session discused the concept of ‘stakeholder capitalism’, which prioritizes the interests of stakeholders, e.g., employees, customers, suppliers, community, etc. Specifically, the webinar will talk about how businesses can be profitable and ethical at the same during and after the pandemic.
