Innovating for Impact and Profit
Amid climate change, disruptive technologies and supply chain volatility, how can businesses survive or even thrive? Is it possible for businesses to make profit by solving these existential challenges plaguing society and the environment?
The answer presents itself in a new form of leadership, Steward Leadership, the genuine desire and persistence to create a collective better future for stakeholders, society, future generations and the environment. Steward leaders creatively build business models around solving human and environmental challenges, generating both impact and strong financial returns.
In this event, panellists will share how they have built or led companies with innovative business solutions to social and environmental challenges. They will also explore how organisations can cultivate an innovation-first culture that enables the creation of ventures that are both profitable and purpose-driven.
To recognise and highlight Steward Leadership excellence, Sasin is proud to partner SAC on the Steward Leadership 25 (SL25) award which recognises the top 25 financially viable solutions for environment and society.
The panellists comprise past Steward Leadership 25 (SL25) winners, and the event will conclude with an overview of SL25 and details on how to apply.
