At the heart of conscious capitalism is the idea that a business should not just focus on profits but also the well-being of all its stakeholders.

Tindell emphasizes that businesses need to stay true to their core values in order to ensure that their decisions and actions are in line with them. This helps to create a culture of trust and accountability that ultimately builds the foundation for a thriving business.
In order to help businesses better understand the power of conscious capitalism, Tindell outlines seven core principles. These principles are focused on creating a strong foundation of trust, transparency, accountability and responsibility. By abiding by these core principles, businesses create an environment where everyone involved feels respected and valued, while also being treated fairly.
Finally, Tindell highlights the importance of internalizing the success of conscious capitalism. He stresses that businesses need to look at the bigger picture of their success, not just the short-term gains. This means recognizing the long-term benefits and values that conscious capitalism can bring and incorporating them into a business’s strategy.
