(#9) Entrepreneurs: with great potential comes great responsibility?
Right from the start, entrepreneurs have dozens of decisions to make. But their motivations are varied, even contrasting: spreading an innovation, making a name for themselves, earning a living, improving a part of everyday life...
Until recently, startups mainly faced a market: now they also face society and its stakeholders, who expect them to be ethical and sustainable.

(#10) New Generations: Old Questions?
“Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life” (H. H. Asquith)
This quote from the beginning of the 20th century doesn't seem to have aged a day, and neither do the underlying questions that inevitably spring to mind when you read it.
Are we collectively aware of the obstacles young people encounter in integrating into society? Because they are (seen as) an essential force for change, is there too much pressure on their shoulders? Between the need for autonomy, help, control or else, are we really giving them the means to be understood and listened to?

(#11) Is sustainability accounting set to change the game?
Now we know: no single tool, no magic wand, has enough power to slow our march towards an overheating world. But we also know that the response can only be plural.
Over the last two decades, companies have been undergoing a silent revolution in accounting and reporting which could, at its own level, contribute to significant change: a philosophical revolution, around the issues of value creation and destruction; a cultural one, on the weight of the sacrosanct figures and the growing role of diverse stakeholders; an organizational one, with new frameworks, approaches and jobs; and a regulatory one, that drives all the other aspects, under pressure from Europe.
