WORDS FROM GLOBAL LEADERS...

PAUL POLMAN
Chair of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Vice-Chair of the U.N. Global Compact, Former CEO of Unilever
By putting itself to the service of others, by putting purpose above profit, and by putting shared responsibility and prosperity as the kitemarks of success, business can be the catalyst for the transformative progress the world desperately needs. The central message of ‘Legacy’ could not therefore be more pertinent. Business truly can change the world. And as this book shows, everyone can make their own individual contribution.

YVES DACCORD
Director-General of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Geneva
When taken together and properly channelled, each individual contribution, each humanitarian gesture – no matter how small – be it from a volunteer or a corporation, amounts to a potentially massive force for good, a force for alleviating suffering. This book and the people who helped write it are a great example of collaboration to provide a much bigger impact than each one of us can make alone.

GOH SWEE CHEN
President of UN Global Compact Network Singapore
We can secure the inheritance of a better world to live for the next generation. For centuries, humans have evolved and survived calamities and strife. It should not be different for this generation. Complex or costly, solutions are in sight. Willpower is a necessary ingredient. Every purposeful action, big or small, can make a positive difference. Draw inspiration from these fellow authors and act now.
