New C-Corp International Accreditation

a network of Accredited Members all demonstrating conscious, ethical leadership

Overview

Professor Mervyn King hosts this fireside chat on the new C-Corp International.

 

The new C-Corp International was launched on 15 September 2022 in London as a joint venture between the Conscious Leadership and Ethics Institute (CLI) and M-Power International.

 

C-Corp international is an accreditation and training entity that unites business leaders on the values of ethics, trust, integrity and responsibility. The intent is for the collective voice, of the global network of accredited conscious leaders, to challenge the status quo of business and, through responsible business activity, seek to impact humanity positively. Placing responsibility and purpose on par with profits, it is intended that these leaders will set trends by aligning shareholder value creation to stakeholder wellbeing.

 

 

“Being a leader of a C-Corp Accredited company gives a breadth and depth to an organisation more than anything the bottom line can achieve for its brand and its people. It is a different quality of being in the world and has a place and purpose in both business and government. C-Corp accredited organisations have a differentiated leadership and behaviour style that unlocks an employee’s unique potential. This engages all stakeholders in the growth of the company, ensuring sustainability and enables it to thrive.”  Media statement 15 September 2022.

 

 

The global vision to drive consciousness in business, the spark igniting C-Corp International, is the brainchild of Brenda Kali, founder of Conscious Companies. She joins forces with Christopher Greenwood, CEO of Success M-Powered and Madhu Rajagopalan, CEO of the Mohanji Foundation with a presence in over 90 countries. Together, they intend to activate the transformation of culture, values, ethics, performance and productivity through the accreditation of leaders and their organisations.

Brenda Kali

CEO: Conscious Leadership and Ethics Institute and Founder: Conscious Companies

Brenda Kali’s Conscious Companies was a scribble on a page in the middle of the night after she emerged from meditation. It set her on a journey that would have an impact not only on her life but on countless other organisations in her quest to build conscious leadership capacity.


An advocate of conscious ethical leadership, she had over the years set into motion a stream of consciousness that is organically changing the landscape of how business is done and the ethos of leadership. Her twenty-five year tenure as an executive saw the reputational turnaround of major companies including Sasol and Telkom. During her tenure as Group Executive in the corporate space, she had observed the workings of a group of people, who come together in daily labour to a company in exchange for security and a paycheque. This inspired her to write “Beyond Corporate Sludge” insights to create balance and harmony in the workplace.


A former member of the Board of the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industries (SACCI), she currently serves on the Board of Primeserv and Project Literacy, a 45-year-old NGO. Ethics, social impact, strategic transformation and conscious awareness has always been the quality of her leadership that advocates a values-driven socio-economic system.
