Aspen Institute Business and Society Program

PRINCIPLED LEADERSHIP

Business for People and Planet

We seek to align business decision-making with the long-term health of people and planet—because a strong economy depends on a sustainable environment and the well-being of the people who power it.

What We Stand For

We believe business can be a force for shared prosperity when guided by deep curiosity, principled action, and a commitment to the common good. We value open dialogue, diverse perspectives, and the conviction to look beyond today’s constraints.

Our Programs

The First Movers Fellowship supports innovators inside companies who are shaping more inclusive and sustainable business practices. Fellows gain tools, perspective, and community to turn bold ideas into action.

The Economic Mobility Fellowship brings together corporate leaders committed to expanding access to good jobs, designing inclusive products and services, and leveraging corporate supply chains to improve long-term well-being for customers, workers and communities.

A trusted peer network of senior sustainability leaders committed to aligning business strategy with societal well-being. Through candid conversation and skill building, members strengthen one another’s capacity to lead at the frontier of practice.

Senior leaders come together to reflect, challenge, and reimagine the role of business in society. The Summit creates space for generative dialogue that leads to practical insights, action, and impact.
