Well, that does certainly sound wonderful, noble and high-minded. "...considered people as an investment...".
What does it mean?
That "million dollar companies" (it doesn't take much to make a "million dollar company" these days, by the way) should give people money in the hopes that they will "perhaps benefit the world" in some unspecified way?
That's not what the word "investment" usually means. It sounds rather more like "charity", or "casting bread upon the waters".
If that's what you actually mean, you should say so.
