  10. “A company needs to stand for something beyond making money and maximising returns for shareholders. Essentially it needs a higher purpose that says what it stands for and to serve a broader group of stakeholders (customers, suppliers, staff, community, governments as well as shareholders). This guiding purpose should become the guiding principle that governs all decisions within the firm”. ANZ CEO John McFarlane, May 2006
