Overview
The Aspen Institute Business & Society Program engages leaders in business, finance, and academia to align business decisions with the long-term health of society. With this grant, Aspen will identify a robust cohort of change agents and map new change opportunities within the disciplines of finance and accounting — disciplines with outsized influence on business leaders, the business press, consulting firms, and next-generation leaders and financiers. Aspen’s aim is to better prepare future and current leaders to create long-term social and economic value amidst the complexity of today’s global challenges such as climate change, economic inequality, human rights, and popular distrust of capitalism and economic institutions.
