At a time when the rules of business are rapidly evolving, the question of what truly defines a successful and sustainable company is becoming increasingly important—and what foundations are needed to build businesses that last.
Through a conversation with Emil Tedeschi, we explore the broader picture of doing business today: how decisions are made in conditions of constant change, where trust is built, and what is expected from leaders at a time when markets, society, and the environment are increasingly shaping the rules of the game.
The discussion also addresses key dilemmas of modern business—how essential stability and predictability are for investment, where the role of capital ends and the decisive role of people begins, and what it truly means in practice to take responsibility for a company over the long term.
This conversation offers space for personal insights and first-hand experience on what has proven essential in building a company, how to balance profit and responsibility, and what decision-making looks like in the context of increasingly complex challenges, including the impact of climate change.
From a long-term business and development perspective, this is an opportunity to understand what it means today to build a company with a forward-looking mindset.
