About
The Shared Value Initiative is a global platform for leaders seeking to solve societal challenges through business solutions and to help companies fulfill a purpose beyond profits alone.
Shared value is a concept described by Professor Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School and Mark Kramer, co-founder and a managing director of FSG, in their 2011 seminal Harvard Business Review article, Creating Shared Value. They define shared value as “policies and operating practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. Shared value creation focuses on identifying and expanding the connections between societal and economic progress.”
