"The words "proven" and "successful" and "people-centric" are purposeful and essential to the concept of Social Capital. Unlike many other movements, certifications and philosophies out there that might stress being a "benefit" or "sustainable" or a slew of other perfectly fine ideas, Social Capital is the only delineation that stresses the undeniable and inseparable relationship between success in business and success in the lives of all those around us," explains Benguhe.

"In other words, it's all about the value of people — employees, customers and members of the community — and how a people-first approach to business leads to better business and greater prosperity and happiness for all. As our nation and our world struggle to find their direction and their mantra, this would seem to be something we can all agree on."
