Intrigued by the vision Doing Good is Good Business, Reuters interviewed Chairman and CEO Efrat Peled to discuss how Arison Investments' sustainable approach successfully marries financial returns with social and environmental benefit.
Peled emphasizes the important role businesses can play in the global arena, and how Arison Investments companies strive to do more by bringing added value beyond the bottom line.
A backbone of values serves as a compass in decision making processes, and "It's all about creativity and innovation," she says as she describes how Shikun & Binui care for communities and advance awareness to the value of sustainability in emerging markets, while Bank Hapoalim operates to promote financial freedom for its cliets, reaching out to them with applicable tools and knowledge sets. Arison Investments water company Miya demonstrates how the value of abundance can be implemented in the water efficiency industry (NRW), to bring added value and reap returns on all levels.
