According to the 2009 Edelman Trust Barometer, nearly two-thirds of the public reported less trust in business than the year before. BSR's roundtable event on "Business Success in a Reset World" examined what it will take to earn that trust back.

"For business to restore trust will take a brand-new paradigm that hasn't existed before. It means changing how companies are run and how products are designed."

—Kara Hartnett Hurst, BSR's Managing Director, East Coast (July 15, 2009)
