Lubetzky identifies six key principles of kind capitalism:

1. Be kind to your customers. This means providing them with high-quality products and services, treating them with respect, and listening to their feedback.
2. Be kind to your employees. This means creating a positive and supportive work environment, offering fair wages and benefits, and investing in their development.
3. Be kind to your suppliers. This means building strong relationships with your suppliers, paying them fair prices, and supporting their sustainability efforts.
4. Be kind to the environment. This means operating your business in a sustainable way, reducing your carbon footprint, and protecting natural resources.
5. Be kind to your community. This means giving back to your community through donations, volunteerism, and other forms of support.
6. Be kind to yourself. This means taking care of your own physical and mental health, and setting boundaries to protect your time and energy.

Lubetzky believes that by following these principles, businesses can create a more just and sustainable world while also achieving financial success. He provides numerous examples of businesses that have done just that, such as TOMS Shoes, Patagonia, and Warby Parker.
