They present a sincere arguement to business social responsibility and pragmatic solutions to deal with the conflicts thats arise in business scenarios. It is interesting to see if the series will contine.

Support local independant business
Ben provides a good model for budding businesses. With so much discust and outcry over big corporations these days, a return to locally focused, environmentally sound independant companies will hopfully curb the corporate dominance.

Cohen's leadership and experience in ethical and sustainable business practices are really understood and conveyed as viable for businesses of all varieties. He speaks about Ben and Jerry's commitment to narrow the economic and social disparities in local, national and global communities

Cohen's various examples of how Ben and Jerry's married social values with business is phenomenal- their flavors stemming from alliances with native american tribes from Maine, rainforest peoples from Brazil and a nonprofit bakery's from NYC's inner city illustrates just how committed their business was to social values and how legendary their leadership in values driven business stands.

Ben Cohen and Mal Warwick

<b>Values-Driven Business</b>
Apr 25 2006
San Francisco, CA - Cody's Books
Ben Cohen and Mal Warwick discuss the first book in The Social Venture Network Series, <i>Values-Driven Business: How to Change the World, Make Money, and Have Fun</i>.<br /><br />There are scads of books on the challenges of running large companies. While about 50% of the US workforce work for large companies (500 workers or more), the other 50% work for or own smaller-scale businesses. Ben Cohen (of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream fame), and Mal Warwick (chair of the Social Venture Network Advisory Board) redress this imbalance in their new book <i>Values-Driven Business</i>, which lays out the roadmap for starting and running a business while staying true to one's own ethics and values. Cohen and Warwick address changes both in the culture of modern-day business as well as in the country's general culture. These changes are reflected by the ever-growing demand of consumers for products that are not produced in an environmentally damaging manner, as well as for companies that treat their employees with dignity, respect, and decent pay. The authors offer case studies from companies such as Clif Bar, Eileen Fisher Inc., Hewlett-Packard, Working Assets, and many more to show how the "triple bottom line" of profits, people, and planet has helped communities throughout North America grow and thrive. Full of practical resources for business owners or managers who want to narrow the gap between their personal values and their business practices, this down-to-earth paperback guide illustrates the many dimensions of values-driven businesses.
