Should business leaders always consider the wider impact of their decisions on society?

Absolutely, business leaders should consider societal impact because their decisions ripple beyond profits. Take my experience in Shanghai's tech industry-I've seen how design choices influence user behavior. For instance, when apps prioritize addictive features over wellbeing, it creates real social issues like screen addiction among teenagers. That said, balancing profit and responsibility is challenging-companies face pressure from shareholders to maximize returns. But ignoring societal consequences ultimately backfires, as we've seen with some viral apps getting banned for harmful content. The most respected brands here, like Alibaba, prove you can succeed while addressing social needs.
