IGNITION Agenda Spotlight: Better Capitalism

Learn more this December At Business Insider, we're seeing companies move toward seeking long-term value rather than chasing short-term gains. This means focusing on customers, employees, and community, instead of just shareholders. Insider Inc. CEO Henry Blodget has discussed at length how the old way of doing business is over. Consumers are more empowered than ever, and are shifting their support to companies with shared values. And we're starting to see more people — including CEOs and investors — taking this seriously. It's time for better capitalism. Hear from industry transformers embracing this new way of doing business at IGNITION.   Cindy Robbins is president and chief people officer at Salesforce. She spearheaded a companywide initiative, helmed by CEO Marc Benioff, to close the gender wage gap. The tech company has since dedicated $8.7 million toward correcting compensation differences. Learn more about Salesforce's unique company culture and benefits and how Robbins is continuing to scale new initiatives that are paving the way for other companies. Michael Rubin, e-commerce entrepreneur and co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils, will share the stage with rapper Meek Mill to discuss their life-changing friendship and the work they're doing for criminal justice reform. Mill was sent to prison for probation violations in late 2017. Rubin used his influence to coordinate an effort to get him out of prison, which happened in April 2018. Since then, the two have been working together to combat systemic issues within America's criminal justice system.   Whether you're an established media company, a household brand, an innovative agency, or a forward-thinking investor, IGNITION is the right time and place to get informed, be engaged, and emerge inspired.
