Alice Tepper Marlin talks about how she moved from financial analysis to developing a single global measurement system for workplace standards.She does not describe how her company's approach works, but she talks clearly about a multistakeholder approach (so to some this might seem like a bit of a sales pitch) but she talks passionately about the importance of every sector of society working together: how activists can help and inspire business to do the job really well, working with Trades Unions to solve problems in a realistic and achievable manner.She describes how a multistakeholder approach means a better deal for all those stakeholders: employees and businesses, investors and civil society.
