Accountability in Your Universe

“Business must strive to be a good citizen in the country in which it operates and make a contribution to wider society. However, business must never forget that it must remain accountable to the disciplines of the balance sheet, as that is the universe in which it functions, survives, and makes its contribution.”

(Maurice Tempelsman, Chairman of Lazare Kaplan International, in “Engaging the Imperfect World.” by Ivan Solotaroff. Modern Jeweler: 2007. Part 2. pg. 14)
