What is Conscious Business?

From the BizLightenment perspective, Conscious Business is a way of doing business where the creation of value is considered the foundation for creating wealth.

Value is defined here as contribution to both the individual and the common good.

In addition, Conscious Business recognizes the interconnectedness of Life and strives to be socially and environmentally responsible. respects the sacredness and dignity of all life.

It is business infused with what might be called "spiritual" values including integrity, generosity, honesty and service.

Ideally, a Conscious Business operates with heart and soul and seeks to be aware of its impact on the lives of its employees, its customers, its community and the world.

That's the vision...how do the companies you do business with line up?

From David Packard, Co-Founder of Hewlett-Packard

“Many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists to make money…  While this is an important result for a company’s existence, we have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being….  We inevitably come to the conclusion that people get together and exist as an institution that we call a company so they are able to accomplish something collectively that they could not accomplish separately.  To create something which is of value.  To make a contribution to society.”
