Can companies atone for their dark pasts? | Sarah Federman | TEDxSan Diego Studio
Do companies need to atone for their historic participation in wars, genocides, slavery, or ecological destruction? Sarah Federman, a former business executive turned conflict resolution professor, has chased answers to this question for fifteen years. She studies how companies respond to their pasts, or don’t, and why this matters.
