A social sector movement to change the laws governing all corporations in this manner is now in the early stages of development.<br /><br />This phrase would be appended to the sentence in all charters that directs the officers and board of the corporation to conduct the affairs of the corporation for the financial benefit of the shareholders, period. Instead this sentence would replace the period with a coma, followed by the words – “... but not at the expense of the environment, human rights, the public health or safety, the communities in which the corporation operates, or the dignity of its employees.”Eric Reynoldstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066487264927532054.post-40812157080906921852008-04-07T07:40:00.000-07:002008-04-15T09:56:26.192-07:00<a href="http://corporatecode.org/docs/28_words_to_change.pdf"><span style="font-weight: bold;">28 Words to Redefine Corporate Duties</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Proposal for a Code for Corporate Citizenship</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">By Robert Hinkley</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://corporatecode.org/docs/Do-no-harm.pdf"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do no harm: a corporate Hippocratic oath</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">By Robert C.
