We recently hosted a panel event on the real world challenges of doing business for good, and wanted to give our listeners access to the full session recording.
We covered a lot of ground: what business for good means, the biggest social/environmental challenges currently facing industries, examples of businesses improving their impact, whether profit & impact can work together, larger systems changes, and recent findings from our survey of business leaders.
