David Cooperrider and Chris Laszlo team up for an executive education leadership program on creating sustainable value through whole system Appreciative Inquiry methods. The course is taught at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University and in companies around the world.
A presentation on how social enterprises and social business modeling has the potential to foster economic prosperity, environmental quality and social equity, satisfying the needs of present society without compromising resources for future generations. We talk about the 9 key approaches to make a business for good, and see through several examples how social entrepreneurs are successfully combining profit and impact in revolutionary ways.
The cover embodies the Cairn India principle of creating
long term value for our stakeholders through sustainable
business processes. While the horizon is a reflection of our
diversified portfolio of producing assets, the heart of the
report is the people or communities around our areas of
operation. Just as the principles of Respect, Responsibility
and Relationships are embedded in our business
processes and carried forward by every employee, we
hope the essence and impact of sustainability will also
act as a bridge between older and younger generations
of communities. The tree of life embodies the fruit of
hydrocarbon development and the children the catalyst
and carriers of this sustainability journey.

20. Inequality- The Reasons
• In India too this has increased. However, this is not a story of the rich
getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Rather, the rich are getting
richer faster than the poor
• Inequalities in health, education, and economic assets are high & the key
factor responsible for increases in inequality appears to be unevenness in
growth
• The interplay between market-oriented reforms, globalization, and
…Message Box ( Arial, Font size 18 Bold)
• The interplay between market-oriented reforms, globalization, and
technology has played a role in unequal growth
• Corresponding to rapid output growth, employment growth has been far
lower in recent years
• The differences in real wages between the bottom and top of the labor
force in urban areas increased significantly over the last two decades. At the
same time, rural–urban differentials in real wages have also widened
21. Inequality Drivers
The main 3 drivers of inequalities are;
1. Inherent by-product of the growth process i.e. and knee-jerk reactions to
eliminate increases in inequalities may stifle the growth process itself
2. Lack of access to basic public services such as credit, and risk-mitigating
instruments perpetuate the lack of capabilities and opportunities for large
sections of society
…Message Box ( Arial, Font size 18 Bold)
sections of society
3. The marginalization and bypassing of significant sections of society could
undermine the sustainability of growth
In fact, Inequality is an outcome of the above drivers, and how it should be
addressed must begin with identifying the drivers of inequality within the
organization through sustainability reporting to attain Inclusive growth
22. Inclusive Growth: A Strategy
The 3 pillars for Inclusive Growth are;
1. Creating opportunities
– Equalizing opportunities means that the opportunities generated by
growth are available and shared across the entire spectrum of the
community
2. Ensuring equal access
…Message Box ( Arial, Font size 18 Bold)
2. Ensuring equal access
– Equalizing access of economic opportunities to the community in the
vicinity and enable individuals to qualify for productive and decent
employment
3. Social protection
– Livelihood generation, better medical facilities, Good Primary Education
etc.
23. Inclusivity for Sustainable Growth – A Reality
• While high and sustainable growth are absolute requirements, the fruits of
growth must be shared more equally
• The thrust of inclusive growth is on the positive, emphasizing expanding
opportunities and capability enhancement . The directional change is from
entitlement to empowerment
…Message Box ( Arial, Font size 18 Bold)
• Public policy interventions to be in place to guarantee an even playing field
so that people can be empowered to lift themselves up to exploit the
opportunities generated by rapid and sustained growth
• Reforms relating to governance, institutions, and policies that address both
economic and political inequality will need to be addressed simultaneously
