BB was intentionally designed as a social enterprise, structured to generate sustainable livelihoods for its owners and co-workers while also promoting rural biodiversity in Bhutan and bringing tangible social benefits to the communities from which it sources its products.<\/p>\n

The setting matters, to an extent, because this story might have unfolded differently in another cultural, political or social milieu. As we explain below, we believe that the lessons learned in this Bhutanese context are also relevant in other settings however, especially where companies find themselves in strategically interdependent relationships with their host communities.<\/p>\n

This paper is co-written by three authors. (from this point forward we will refer to ourselves in the first-person plural). Each of us brings a unique voice and disciplinary background to this writing project. All of us were involved\u2014 in one capacity of another\u2014in the creation and design of BB. This article is the fruit of numerous conversations where we managed to find our own consensus about the broader theoretical lessons we believe can be learned from this case study. This resulting paper seeks to fill a gap in the literature on corporate ethics that draws on Bhutan\u2019s rich cultural and philosophical heritage.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
