WHAT IS CONSCIOUS BUSINESS?

Conscious business is not an ideal. It is alive in a some of the worlds top companies and many of the companies that Maketa partners with. Out of necessity, it is becoming the foundation of many new and emerging businesses. Conscious business is about IMPROVING LIVES and creating profit and value for stakeholders. Conscious business operates from a higher purpose (beyond generating profit) and shared values that unify the enterprise and elevate it to a higher degree of motivation, performance and ethical commitment.

Maketa values collaborating with organizations that recognize that they have enormous power and responsibility to authentically work to improve lives. Conscious business recognizes and operates with the
quadruple bottom line as their guide

PURPOSE

People is about social responsibility. Creating and nurturing an equitable and inclusive organizational culture and providing resources and opportunities that support sustainable lifestyles for all employees and stakeholders.
Planet is about environmental responsibility. Maintaining an acute awareness of the organizations impact on the natural world and the communities that it operates within. Individuals and organizations take action to minimize negative impacts and improve the lives (human and non-human) and ecosystems touched by it's activities.
Profit (the traditional "bottom line") is about sustainable income generated by engaging everyone in the system to create greater health and wellbeing for ALL.
Purpose is about Spirit and the higher reason behind our work. Working with an authentic intention of service toward the betterment of humanity and our global community.
We need to rethink why and how we engage in business to better reflect where we are in the human journey and the state of the world we live in today.
