什麼是創造共享價值？

通過解決世界上最緊迫的問題以實現經濟成功

A new way

of doing business

We believe that sustainable companies of tomorrow are those bringing scalable and profitable solutions to the most pressing challenges of today.

Creating Shared Value is the title of an award-winning 2011 article in the Harvard Business Review, by Prof. Michael Porter and Mark Kramer. They wrote of a broader definition of strategic business development, the overlap between planning for economic benefit and a company’s ability to positively impact social and environmental conditions.

Creating Shared Value is unashamedly about making profit, but that economic benefit must have an equally measurable impact on a social or environmental issue. Shared value is a more sophisticated form of capitalism that brings social purpose into the boardroom, enabling businesses to lead social progress and reclaim the respect of society.

Three ways of creating

Shared value

Through reconceiving products and markets, redefining productivity in the value chain, and building supportive industry clusters, companies can simultaneously create economic and societal value.

Redefining Productivity in Value Chains

Productivity and efficiency innovations creating new ways of operating to address value chain concerns (e.g. poverty)
—

Enabling Local Cluster Development

“Shared value is not social responsibility, philanthropy or sustainability, but a new way for companies to achieve economic success”

Prof. Michael Porter and Mark Kramer

Ideas For Change

In this interview with the Wall Street Journal, Prof. Michael Porter addresses the perceived trade-off between a corporation’s economic and social goals.

He explains how the capitalist model can be re-cast to create economic value by directly addressing societal challenges rather than separately investing in programs to address issues such as hunger, housing and environmental degradation. He introduces Creating Shared Value (CSV) as the natural evolution of CSR.
