Modern civilizations around the globe use sophisticated indices to make a quantitative assessment of the health of a nation/region’s economy and market. Their hope is to try and predict the future of a sector, industry, organization or nation based on some key indicators. Conventional corporate growth indicators like retention, net profits, and stock market index are now set to meet their match.
Recent series of events have started to shape money markets and corporations in ways never seen before. Corporations are beginning to stop and consider the long term impacts of their short term decisions. This thoughtful reflection has spurred an interest in socially responsible investing – a practice that has exploded in recent years and now encompasses about 10 percent of the $24 trillion investment marketplace.
Karma – a key indicator driving the long and short term health of an organization or nation – is almost never accounted for. Join us for an evening of intriguing discussion as Devamrita Swami, a monk, author and founder of the Institute of Sustainability, introduces the concept of ‘Karma Index’ to evaluate business decisions and measure real growth in the cosmic market place.
