What is JUSTGen?

The mission of JUSTGen is to create a community of changemakers dedicated to furthering stakeholder capitalism, putting purpose-driven, values-based leadership into practice, and uplifting the work and mission of JUST Capital.

We’ve created the JUSTGen network to bring people together to help us envision how we might build a more just and equitable economy and to create opportunities for you to connect with peers and put purpose-driven, values-based leadership into practice.

Meet Our Members

“I have always seen the value in the bridge JUST provides between the priorities of the public and the power and resources of corporate America. JUSTGen has been a great way to follow how companies respond to this and exchange articles, ideas, and different concepts, which influence the decisions we all make in our personal and professional lives.”

Shipley Foltz

"Stakeholder capitalism is something I am very passionate about and JUSTGen is a great resource to better understand the concepts behind this model of business – while networking with like-minded individuals who and inspire me to implement stakeholder capitalist values in my day to day managerial life."

Alex Hyland

"Joining JUSTGen has allowed me to expand my network with individuals who also believe in corporate responsibility and understand that racial equity, job quality, and sustainability strategies are not approaches that are in conflict with increasing profits. And, with this in mind, together we can build a more equitable economy."

Bishara Addison

"The topics JUST focus on are all things I’ve been passionate about for a long time, especially racial equity. When I found out there was a group of individuals who got an inside look at this research JUST Capital was doing and continue those conversations outside of the one-time events, I wanted in.”

Chelsey Caldwell

“I’ve been especially interested in how to tie corporate responsibility more deeply into business models so that it's not really corporate responsibility anymore – it's more about how things like wage equality and sustainability become core tenets or byproducts of a business, even legacy ones. Joining JUSTGen has been a great way to meet more individuals thinking about these same problems and trying to find new and unique ways to solve them.”
