President's word
DARING TO GENERATE VALUE
.
Oblivious or daring ?
An obliviousness that calls for action in these times of economic and financial anguish, an obliviousness that turns a blind eye to social upheaval, as witnessed by scenes of such flagrant inequality and unbearable distress?
Daring, on the other hand, to assert the necessity and legitimacy of generating value, to demand it, to promote it.
Indeed, this challenge to generate value must be won, but not at all costs and not in accepting any consequences. Taking the dare to generate value with the aim of producing it more efficiently and then distributing it throughout the world, to provide a fuller meaning to the quest, beyond the simple material dimension: this is our proposal to forge a collective approach on November 15-17, 2011 against the backdrop of the 5th World Forum Lille.
- Philippe VASSEUR, former French minister, President of the World Forum Lille and Alliances Network
