I’ve seen how important this concept is in business. To be truly successful, companies need to have a corporate mission that is bigger than making a profit. We try to follow that at salesforce.com, where we give 1% of our equity, 1% of our profits, and 1% of our employees’ time to the community.

By sharing a common and important mission, we are united and focused, and have found a secret weapon that ensures we always win.
