Efficiency S1/E2: Project Value Maximization in Focus

Value Creation Rethought

Value creation is unfair?

In a globalized world, there is often a sense that the distribution of created value is unfair. Large companies seem to reap the greatest profits, while smaller players and suppliers often receive only a fraction of the value.
In many cases, there is an impression that value creation happens at the expense of those who benefit the least. Low wages, harsh working conditions, and little recognition for suppliers and smaller partners are common criticisms. Additionally, in complex global value chains, those who contribute the least directly often earn the most.
The role of companies
Companies bear a great responsibility to make value creation fairer. This means establishing fair trade practices, improving working conditions along the supply chain, and ensuring a just distribution of the profits earned. Transparency plays a key role here; customers and partners want to know how value creation is generated and distributed.
It is time to view value creation not only as an economic but also as a social process. Companies that take social responsibility seriously and distribute value creation fairly strengthen their brand, gain customer trust, and contribute to a more sustainable economy.
