“Uniting two visions: On the one hand, the creative power of private companies. On the other, the purpose of civil society organizations. Together we seek sustainable development for the benefit of the planet and its inhabitants.”
Social impact strategies require competence, efficiency, and results, just like a successful business. Business success requires meaningful vision, motivated people, and value creation, just like effective philanthropy. There is much we can learn from one another.
