Social Impact organisations remodel the role of enterprise and leadership
- The shifting landscape: towards a ‘social value economy’
- The need for social value drives convergence
- ESG backlash and new path to sustainability
New approaches to profit, people and planet are reshaping the corporate landscape to create a ‘social value economy’. Each new generation thirsts for a greater sense of purpose, a more equitable world and a sustainable environment. Our Social Impact Trends Report explores what this means for leaders, boards, stakeholders and communities. We review the market analysis, trends and leadership vision redefining the role of enterprise in society.
“Major shifts in how we think about work is spurring convergence between non-profit and for-profit organisations. As a global community of leadership experts, we see this convergence driving a new vision for social value. This impacts every conversation we have with leaders, stakeholders and our communities. We hope this report inspires you to talk to us to discover who best can deliver your vision for social value in a more equitable age.”
