Towards a new covenant
Mike King discusses a recent event
In late March I attended a business event at the Tate Modern entitled ‘Business in Society: Towards A New Covenant’, having been invited by the Quakers and Business Group. I joined this organisation recently, having approached it about my forthcoming book, Quakernomics: An ethical capitalism. The evening event featured a panel of speakers including Lynn Forester de Rothschild, the chief executive officer of E L Rothschild LLC, and Shubhro Sen, the director of the Tata Management Training Centre (the Tata Group is a huge Indian multinational corporation). Other panelists included Steven Haberman, dean of the Cass Business School, Fiona Woolf, the future lord mayor of London and Richard Howitt, the European parliament rapporteur on corporate social responsibility.
