They discuss the possibility of creating social value by integrating third-world countries or people with disablities into their businesses. Another trend in this area could be delivering tech-infrastructure such as affordable lighting or irrigation to developing countries. Producing locally grown food or reducing waste and transportation costs are further examples of how companies can have a social impact. Adressing underserved markets, providing healthy food for students or donating a certain percentage of profits are also being discussed.
