There are two (2) things we try very VERY hard to do here at FintekNews. One of them is to kind of not feature competitor's articles (but hey, some are really good) and we ALWAYS bring BRILLIANT and EXTRAORDINARY thoughts from very influential visionaries to the attention of our readers.

It is not enough to form "window-dressing foundations" that offer employees once a year charity days or photo ops. It is not enough to donate some computers and paint a local public school and consider the job done.
Humanity-focused corporations
It does not need to be this way. This is not a zero-sum game, and in fact, it is imperative, we bring back humanity into corporate culture. We need to redefine what it means to be a corporation.
