It’s a mistake for corporations to take stances on political issues in the current delicate political climate, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey says.

“I don’t think businesses should take a political stance. They should be good citizens in their communities in terms of trying to help solve social problems where they have competence to do so or where they can make philanthropic contributions that will help the communities they’re part of, but taking political positions, is, I believe, a mistake,” Mackey said in an interview with EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders“ program.
