ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights both 'top down' change from existing institutions, such as multinational corporations, and 'bottom up' change from new types of enterprises that are beginning to be established with multiple-bottom-line orientations. The Global Compact is a small aspect of the changes that are needed to move us to a sustainable enterprise economy. The combined global economic, climate and social crises have arguably created an inflection point that makes now the time to start moving towards thinking conceptually about wellbeing, rather than growth, as the fundamental value to be embedded both in society and economy. Terrorism, violence and conflict are realities that modern enterprises must face, particularly in the globalised economy. Business enterprise, however, is implicated in terrorism because for some observers it seems that the growth of globalisation is an underlying factor in fostering terrorism. Food security, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation includes four dimensions: availability; stability; access; and uses of food.
