The New Corporate
World
Regardless of what the causes are, all of us on
the planet are experiencing the beginning and/or the
intermediate stages of some potentially disastrous,
life-altering, environmental transformations. We cannot
simply say, "We
didn't cause these changes, therefore we can ignore
them.” If
we ignore these changes, they will produce some
extremely destructive and irreversible consequences.
Question:
Tell me about creating The
New Corporate World.
Rev. Coté:
It's now possible, with
relative ease and simplicity for almost any profit-oriented corporation that
has publicly traded stock to
make a major shift in the context²
in which
it does business. This new context shifts
corporate concern from profits only to a
five-fold focus -- to a focus on employees,
management, customers, the environment, and the
stockholders. It's incredibly simple
to do and yet the implication are far-reaching and
profound. [How to do this is described below.]
Question:
What will be
the result?
Rev. Coté: A
major, peaceful redistribution of wealth --
the re-assertion of the middle class -- a
cure for the disease called debt²
-- happier, more productive employees
-- higher quality products and services --- and a
major step toward the Reversal of Global Warming.
(Too Good to Be True)²
Executives
who choose to make
this change will become leaders in The
New Corporate World. They will be able to run their
company without being
dominated by the Wall Street moguls
whose only interests are money, power, and control.
Through a team effort, the corporate and
Foundation leaders can then do what they believe is in
everybody's best interest, including their own best
interest and that of the corporation's management, their employees, their customers, the remaining
stockholders and the
environment.
Environmental concerns will be in their rightful place as one piece of
the five-part matrix -- management,
employees, customers, environment, and stockholders.
In this format, everyone gets a
fair share of the pie. Imagine a world where
domination is replaced by cooperation.
Question:
How is that possible?
The Six Steps
The Six Steps
...
Rev. Coté: Here are the six, simple steps.
1) Ask the leaders of the company you work for (or the leaders in any corporation) if
they'd like to:
a) Take back control of their company from the
money interests,
b) Increase their company's profits,
c) Expand their power and influence
in the corporate world,
and at the same time,
d) Be in a position to play a
significant role in Reversing Global Warming.
2) When they say, "Yes,” and ask,
“How?”
Invite them to set up
their own, non-profit Foundation.
3 Then, each month,
their company donates a small percentage of its profits to
this Foundation. (One source of the
funding¹
will come from re-directing a portion of
the money they commonly give to charity.)
4) The Foundation uses
its money to buy stock in their company.
5) The Foundation uses the
profits from owning the stock to buy more stock in
their company.
6) When the Foundation holds
enough stock to override the votes of the money-is-my-only-interest
stockholders, then the corporation
and the Foundation (functioning as a team) can redefine
the corporation's reason for being.
That's when the real transformation can
begin. At that point, the corporate leaders, the Foundation leaders,
and the employees join forces and re-focus
the company onto the well-being of the foundation's
five beneficiaries:
a) The
Employees & Management c) The Environment
b) The
Customers
d) The Remaining Stockholders **1
The
Foundations bylaws will be carefully written to insure that
everyone gets a fair share of the benefits.
Question:
What are the advantages?
advantages ...
Rev. Coté: Here are the most obvious results. For those
corporations that choose to participate:
1) The demands for
short-term profits will no longer dominate corporate
leadership.
2) Fighting between
labor and management over money will
be replaced by cooperation and mutual support.
3) Corporate leaders
can end
the arrogant exploitation and needless destruction of the
Earth's natural resources² that belong to all of us,
4) Corporate
leaders be able to take care of the needs, desires, and requirements of their
employees,
5) Corporations will be able
to
make higher-quality products and provide better service to their customers,
6) Corporate
leaders will be in positions to make a significant
contributions to the Reversal of Global Warming, and
7) Corporations will still
be able to satisfy their investor's requirements
for profits.
(Too Good to Be True)²
Another significant plus to this
project is that when the project begins to prove itself in
the external world, the money-is-my-only-interest-stockholders
will realize that:
1) the change is
in their own, long-term, best interest, and
2) the change is
inevitable,
they will very likely proxy their
corporate vote to the Foundation. This
will significantly speed up the transformation process.
(Too Good to Be True)²
Question:
What if we don't create The New Corporate World?
Rev. Coté: Humanity will not have the capacity to
make the necessary changes in time to avoid major,
global-level environmental disaster.
.

Question:
Why do you say that corporations are the key to resolving our environmental
problems?
Rev. Coté: Because
the world's corporations have
the means, the
motive, the talent, the opportunity,
the resources,
the ability, and the freedom to make major changes in the fundamental fabric of
society, including the Reversal of Global
Warming. As currently structured, they lack only one ingredient.
Question:
And what is that?
Rev. Coté: How to do so and still satisfy their
investor's requirements for profits. This problem is solvable by the simple structural adaptation and the
easy-to-implement change in strategy
suggested above.¹
Please remember that this is just one step in a
highly complex process. NCW will make major changes in the
way corporations do business. This will have a major impact on the
world's monetary system. Changing the world's monetary system will set the stage for many
additional changes. This simple, initial step will have a
rippling effect that will alter the entire world. It will also
play a major role in the Reversal of Global Warming.
Question:
Are you saying that creating The New Corporate World
(NCW) is
the answer to the world's
problems?
Rev. Coté: No. The problem is much too complex to have
a single answer. However, creating The New
Corporate World is a major step in the right direction. Please view our websites
for an extensive explanation.
