According to Anand Mahindra, chairman, Mahindra Group, “The wider role, purpose and meaning of what constitutes ‘good business’ has never been more relevant than today. A company’s social and community impact are being discussed as loudly and frequently as its balance sheets and by more people than ever before. I absolutely believe that these broader, more inclusive expectations—whether from customers, shareholders, employers or other members of society—can be perfectly compatible. The principal role of business leaders today is to find that mutually beneficial, common ground.”

Here are some findings of what consumers perceive a ‘good business’ to be, and factors that shape their decision-making process.
