At the start of every year, the Business Fights Poverty community comes together to explore how we can collectively navigate the opportunities and challenges of the year ahead. This online forum is a unique opportunity to connect, share insights, and collaborate on key trends and strategies to deepen partnerships for impact. Together we discussed:
- What are the biggest challenges and opportunities for you personally in driving meaningful social impact in the year ahead?
- As terms like ESG and DEI become increasingly politicised, what is working for you when communicating social impact in ways that build shared understanding and bridge political divides?
- In this shifting and contested context, what advice would you offer on leading and managing change while also supporting the personal resilience of those driving social impact?
See what insights members of our community took away from the discussion in this LinkedIn post. Please re-share these insights to help us reach others who might benefit.
