CEOs have traditionally focused solely on dollars and cents. But increasingly, they’re taking on an additional role: tackling social problems.
Fortune’s CEO Initiative, an invite-only event that takes place on June 25 and 26 in San Francisco, is devoted to the topic of companies doing well by doing good. The theory is that infusing businesses with a broader purpose can help with recruiting, attracting new customers, and improving corporate images.
