TIME Magazine names KIND/PeaceWorks as Pioneers in Social Responsibility
KIND was honored as a Responsibility Pioneer in the September 20, 2009 edition of TIME. Richard Stengel, Managing Editor of TIME inc. described it as such:
our first list of 25 Responsibility Pioneers, which includes a range of social innovators, from individual activists and nimble nonprofits to megacorporations [includes companies like Starbucks, Gap, General Electric and PeaceWorks.]
Here is the feature on KIND/PeaceWorks.
Additionally, in the same issue our new KINDED website (www.kinded.com) was featured as one of their recommended “New Ways to Make a Difference."
Responsibility Pioneers: PeaceWorks
PeaceWorks calls itself a "not-only-for-profit" company. By developing unlikely business partners (think Israelis and Arabs), founder Daniel Lubetzky is planting seeds of peace in conflict areas. And his latest venture, in peaceful territory — Kind snacks, made in Australia — plows 5% of profits into promoting global coexistence and kindness. "I try to be an enlightened capitalist," he says.
