Abstract

This short article represents the first attempt to define a new core cultural value that will enable engaging the business sector in humankind’s mission to heal nature. First, I start with defining the problem of the current business culture and the extant thinking on how to solve environmental problems, which I called “the eco-deficit culture.†Then, I present a solution to this problem by formulating the “semiconducting principle†of monetary and environmental values exchange, which I believe can generate “an eco-surplus business culture.†This work adds one new element, the eleventh cultural value, to the ten core values of progressive cultures postulated by Harrison (2000).
