Sustainable Capitalism

Updated: Aug 17, 2021

The world demands options to benefit society while making a profit. Great authors of social criticism and sustainable capitalism, such as Muhammad Yunus, posit the need to integrate systems to generate sustainable capitalism techniques. By implementing new investment tactics, less governance will rely on welfare programs to fill traditional capitalism gaps for community wellness.


Introducing sustainable financial structures that incorporate free-market competition, public-private partnerships devoid of neoliberal politics and neoclassical capitalism is a tall order. Perhaps a modification of expectations as an investor, financial manager, and or business operator can alter the fulfillment standards from passive income. Reports on impact in the lives of those benefiting from a sustainable investment hold more than monetary value. They are transforming the population's economic capacity by joining the investment directly through funding ESG companies.

Sustainable enterprises endeavor to enhance existing business structures with direct contributions to better society by embedding social benefits into their return profiles. Launching a real estate fund meets our impact investors' needs by transforming the consumption standard. We explore complex financial structures that complement impact investment to optimize ESG assets' function.

Using this paradigm, the revenue produced is driven to benefit humanity, promoting society by creating a positive return to the environment and or community. More businesses funded with the ESG factors at the forefront of their mission can remedy ages of disparate economic strategy. Traditional capital driven markets are solely meeting ends that benefit big business. To this end, inequity ensues because social needs are not adequately addressed in the supply chain cycle. While profits are a necessary component to operating a leading nation, owners and consumers must alleviate the socio-economic strata gaps.

Socially responsible corporate initiatives actively seek to contribute to society. Private actors have gained satisfaction by personally "giving back" but do not necessarily have access to assess their donations' outcomes quantitatively. ESG metrics are a necessary component to the process of engendering community-specific assistance that rectifies social issues.


Ultra privileged is a socio-economic standing that conveys the polarity of socio-economic status. When juxtaposed with the phrase economically disadvantaged, the developed world's issues are more concerning, as the middle class fluctuates in size. Innovative businesses that integrate wellness and community assistance into their financial plans increase the beneficiary's self-efficacy for years to come. Cultural acceptability can intensify this generative inclination's normality, particularly to the participating region's needs.


"A world of Three Zeros", by Muhammad Yunas illustrates how societal success measures should not rest solely on a nation's capacity to build insurmountable mounds of wealth. Instead, the intellect to modify systems when necessary to make room for improved operation should be the goal. Developed nations should not do away with capitalism; it should improve to meld with the new need of the marketplace, which should place human wellness at the forefront of interests.


The value of improving society is priceless. No number can suffice the importance of providing a decent lifestyle for individuals who lack the means of supplying it for themselves. Being an investor who adds to economic development has a quantifiable and qualitative social fulfillment. Accelerating the drive to expand social wellbeing by following the financial community's leadership meets altruistic needs. Since these factors can be simplified into an umbrella of socio-economic factors identified using ESG indices.


Altruistic drivers

  1. Community connection

  2. Enhance society

  3. Protect environment


ESG drivers

  1. Environment

  2. Social

  3. Governance

A sustainable financing mechanism complements GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measurements by offering a better insight into consumers that slip through the cracks. In terms of sustainability, a closer scope at the daily lives of those who heavily consume but are less economically fortunate produces an opportunity to advance effectiveness. Personal improvement, systemic and institutional change generates ingenuity for better social programs design for the future.
