REAL VALUE

HOW DO YOU DECIDE THE TRUE VALUE OF A PRODUCT?

How do you deCIDE the true value of a product or service? Is it ONLY based on the profit motive, or should its impact on the global good also play a major role in the equation? The  documentary Real Value gives exemples of  business leaders who have seen their profits rise after taking measures to enhance their standards of sustainability.

At Piedmont Biofuels, workers collect used fats, oils and greases and transform them into fuel. Demand for their product is  high, and they are  free of the pressures of  the big oil industry.

The fascinating subjects of Real Value are relatable and inspiring entrepreneurs. Their means of driving profits through social responsibility are well within reach for the owners of all businesses large and small.
