Bentley University-Gallup Force for Good Report
Americans' Perception of Business and Its Impact on Society
Though the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted businesses throughout the U.S., it also provided many examples of ways businesses can help Americans facing adversity.
Urgent large-scale challenges -- like climate change, rising income inequality and uneven access to high-quality education and healthcare -- require the participation of private sector businesses in finding solutions.
To address these problems and promote the broad-based prosperity they need to thrive and grow, businesses must recognize and act on their potential as "forces for good."
The Bentley University/Gallup Force for Good study is an effort to identify areas where people think businesses are succeeding in bringing about positive change and, just as importantly, where they are falling short.
