Like the 2018 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic was yet another inflection point in our appreciation of the purpose of our economies and our understanding of the role of business in society.

As we emerge from the pandemic, one thing is clear: blindly perpetuating "business-as-usual`" is no longer viable in light of the social, economic and environmental challenges we face.

In this episode, host Karim Rushdy is joined by Bei Hu, Vice President and lead of the East Region and Clean Hydrogen businesses for Linde, China. Bei shares his insights on the evolving role of business in society, especially across different societies and cultures, and how companies can strike a balance between meeting targets and KPIs while affecting positive change and helping to redesign society for the better.
