An EBBF point of view
We have reached the end of EBBF's 16th financial year, a time to share some of this year's highlights
Actually Meet People Inspiring Responsible Business
The 2006 Annual conference of the Forum is raising expectations. We expect replies to the question "what is the ultimate purpose of business". Aiming to offer the broad visions and then taking them to your own work environment, to what happens around you on Monday morning at work.”
Reflection: EBBF Voices in the Global Conundrum
In this excerpt of an essay, author Joachim Monkelbaan (J.D. Maastricht University, LL.M. World Trade Institute) juts out a “Spiritual solution” to the “economic problem”. As he says, “reciprocity and symmetry are the needs of the new social order. Cooperation must replace unbridled competition and an organized economic system must take the place of the present muddle.” It is the glory of youth that some of the simplest wisdom is not yet forgotten on the way to adulthood; and that even in a world run by adult whims, some young voices can still pierce with clarity.

Words of Wisdom
"Many of today's problems stem from the fabric of today's leaders: far too dependant on shareholder approval acting as reactive, media-driven individuals. We need a new breed of brave leaders, driven by their personal values, with a sincere interest for the wider good.
This kind of leadership will breed motivation and attract top talent, creating the most successful enterprises of the future."
