Richard Branson: business can be a force for good

Wired editor David Rowan interviewing Richard Branson at the GQ Innovation Conference

The world's business leaders can make positive global changes while still remaining profitable, Richard Branson said at the G8 Innovation Conference.


Speaking shortly after the announcement of the launch of the B Team, a global non-profit founded by Branson and director of Kering Jochen Zeitz, the Virgin Group founder referenced work he is doing in the sustainability and space sector that is both good business, and good practice.

"Businesses can be a force for good and shouldn't think of themselves as just worrying about the bottom line profit.
