He said that companies, especially the biggest ones, can improve the lot of the world's least privileged by better aligning their self-interest with the good of society. "There are two great forces -self interest and caring for others," he said. But he noted that "profits are not always possible when business tries to serve the very poor." However, he noted the power of "recognition which enhances a company's reputation," calling it a way to more strongly appeal to customers and attract better employees. Thus indirectly, he insisted, companies can concretely benefit by doing good. Gates spoke of what he believes is the growing global movement for corporate social responsibility. But businesses, government and nonprofits need to work together better to "stretch the reach of market forces," so more companies can make a profit doing work that will "improve the world." (That phrase is included in the tagline that defines the purpose of the World Economic Forum.) -DAVOS, SWITZERLAND (CNN) Learn More: Exquisite Safaris Corporate Donor Philanthropic Advisory Services Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel Worldwide signs the United Nations Global Compact Harvard Business Review Entrepreneurship in the Social Sector: Philanthropic Travel Creative Capitalism: Partner with Exquisite Safaris The High-Purpose Company: Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel Worldwide Exquisite Safaris clients say...
