Why 'Investing in Kindness'?

Investing in Kindness is a research project exploring how kindness influences leadership, investing, and business outcomes.

Through a global survey and a series of interviews, this project seeks to understand whether kindness—often overlooked in business—can be a competitive advantage. Your responses will help shape a public report, contribute to new leadership frameworks, and explore how values like empathy, fairness, and integrity impact performance, trust, and growth.
