Spending 3.5 Minutes imminent. ALONG A DIRT ROAD IN BANGLADESH' S green , fertile heartland, 140 miles Northwest of Dhaka, workers in Flip-flops are hauling bricks, pouring cement, and hammering boards. THE OBJECT OF THEIR LABOUR: A small YOGURT Factory being built by DANONE, the FRENCH FOOD Company, on the outskirts of Bogra. It may not look like much, but the one storeyed building behind a wrought iron gate is the Epic Center of A Big New Idea- One that Muhammed Yunus, the winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize for his pioneering work on Microcredit, thinks can revolutionise a World, still being transformed by his first big Idea. " I HOPE IT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LANDMARK IN THE ANNALS OF BUSINESS, " YUNUS Says a few days later in Dhaka, at the opening Ceremony for the Factory in early November 2006. THe Idea Marries the Interests of Corporations with Economic Development in a way that has never been tried before. Yunus is not Calling for Capitalism' s Abolition, instead Its Enlightenment. At a Lunch in Paris, Yunus invited Danone CEO Franck Riboud to come to Bangladesh and Build HIS first Social Business Enterprise. Riboud listened, then agreed. The Yogurt Danone would make would be Fortified to help curb Mal-Nutrition and Priced ( at 7 Cents a Cup ) to be affordable. All revenue from the JV with Grameen Bank would be Re-invested, with Danone taking out only its initial Cost of Capital, about $500 000, after 3 years. The Factory- and Ultimately 50 more - will rely on Grameen Microborrowers buying COWS to sell its Milk on the front End, Grameen Microvendors selling the Yogurt Door to Door, and Grameen' s 6.6 Million Members purchasing for their Kids. Bio-degradable cups made from Cornstarch, Solar Panels for Electricity generation, and Rainwater collection Vats make the Enterprise Environmentally friendly. UNICEF believes it may be such a Revolutionary means of Improving Nutrition through a Sustainable Business Model that it is watching closely- and may seek to replicate around the World. " Its really a Growth strategy for our Company, We are convinced that in this World, when you are a Consumer goods Company and the Country is a Developing Country, it would be crazy to think only about the peak of the Pyramid," Says Riboud. Ideas along these lines are being discussed within Corporation such as GE, UNILEVER, COCA-COLA, PEPSI CO, and CARGILL, says Marc Van Ameringen, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition in Geneva. " The New wave in Business is, FORGET Corporate Social Responsibility or Philanthropy, how do you Integrate this into your Core Business," he says. " The Idea Danone has of creating a Social Dividend for Shareholders-- that' s cutting edge. No one else has come up with this interesting Model. It supports your Brand, returns your Capital, you are not going to lose Money, and you give your Shareholders a vision of doing something good." While half of Bangladesh still lives below the Poverty line, Grameen says that 5% of its borrowers escape Poverty every Year. In a Country like Bangladesh, paralyzed by Strikes and inept Governance, its obvious why Yunus sees BUSINESS rather than the STATE as the way to solve Social Problems. Source: Fortune, Feb 2007.
