Change your hiring practices.
A good place to start is your hiring process, you may not realize it, but your hiring process may be leaving people out and not be diverse enough. Increasing diversity in your hiring means that you are not making it harder or bias for anyone who applies; this means making sure you don’t limit based on a candidate’s age, gender, race, sexual preference, or religion. You need to make sure you are not hiring diversely for the sake of it, though, as you can go too far with it, you just need to check that you are not limiting or discriminating against candidates for the role that would be good at it based on any of the above.
Completely changing the way you hire is a big job but is needed to stay with the times and make sure you are giving everyone more of a chance in life; make sure you look at how you advertise the role is it stopping anyone from applying, check your figures for who you are not hiring and try to increase this, maybe you don’t hire many women then you can set goals to change this and increase your diversity.
Reinvest back into something
You may have made one or several businesses successful, but it can be hard to keep going without a goal in sight. Try making this goal to better a community and reinvest your money into your home community or to something close to your heart, entrepreneurs like Deepak Agarwal have done this and found great pride and success in giving back to something they feel strongly about.

A new goal to work towards it will give you a new drive and motivation to keep pushing your businesses to the next level so you can keep giving back to what you believe in.
If you are looking to drive your business in a new direction and make it more ethical and socially conscious, then hopefully, these tips can help you to get started and have your business working towards a better world and give you something more to work for.
