Charitable capitalism can help in every department:

Sales	Customer Service
The charitable component of a business can differentiate its products, giving customers another reason to buy.	When interacting with an organization that does good, customers are more understanding and less likely to complain.
Public Relations	Human Resources
Charity adds a new dimension to any news, giving the media more reason to cover a company and portray it favorably.	Working for a good cause improves morale and can help attract and retain more talented, passionate employees.
Finance	Legal
Goodwill can be a company's greatest intangible asset and can buoy its stock price and long-term outlook.	A positive public image can result in more lenient regulation as well as less frequent lawsuits.

Our mission is to help create a brighter future by identifying ways corporations can make doing good a profitable part of their core business.

Our first step toward achieving this goal has been to publish Tales from 2040, which you can get free-of-charge here. This book contains three short stories that show how prominent leaders of today can use capitalism to help solve some of the world's toughest social problems... and make a fortune in the process.

Through this book, we are working to form the 2040 Network, a think tank of business analysts, marketing consultants, technology experts, researchers, and authors to develop new ways that large corporations can improve the world around them while making a healthy profit.
