Why do we need to change the BOP reality?
Because its not fair or just that people should live without basics?No, this is just a little bit of the explanation
It is because we all have a LOT to gain from changing the BoP reality
We can get a warm glow from doing good
Companies can increase their profit by selling to them
Companies can improve their sustainability capital ..mainstream consumers will be loyal and tend to buy from companies which are doing good in the long run
We can all learn from serving themeven companies.
And thus changing the BoP reality is a SMART way to fight polarization, targeted hatred against groups, distress emigration, terrorism and climate change
