Wow! What a week! I had the privilege of delivering the keynote at the WSA 2024 Global Congress in beautiful Patagonia, Chile. The WSA celebrates innovators delivering positive social impact by harnessing the power of technology to drive towards the United Nations SDGs. It was inspirational to hear how people around the world are tackling environmental problems, building social cohesion, and reimagining impact investing to literally make the world a better place. Congratulations to the 40 winners who were celebrate at the event. I encourage you all to learn more about their amazing work, which covers everything from improving sanitation in rural villages in the Global South to using AI to learn and remember ancient languages that are in danger of becoming extinct. Thanks again to Prof. Dr. Peter A. Bruck, Nora Wolloch, and the entire WSA board for inviting me to participate in this amazing event. My keynote had a strong message: "governments alone will not solve the increasingly challenging problems that humanity faces - the charge will be led by innovators and social entrepreneurs who find a way to solve issues while creating sustainable businesses." Like all founders, these innovators need support, advice, and funding to realize their potential. So, I was grateful for the opportunity to share some details of the work that Adam Maddock and I are doing in this field… We will soon launch VentureForge, an innovative nonprofit with a mission to help founders forge their ideas into impact, leveraging a proprietary digital platform and global community. Stay tuned for more on this soon! 😎 #WSA #UnitedNations #SDGs #innovation #impact #socialenterprise #impactinvesting

#BCorp month has now come to a close and hopefully SMEs are a little more informed about the benefits of becoming a B Corp 💙   The path to B Corp certification is a great starting point to help get you thinking about what ‘impact’ looks like for your business and to start conversations about what your commitment to sustainability looks like. As Hawthorne & Burman Impact Consulting work with more and more businesses, we’re supporting using a toolkit of techniques (there is definitely no one size fits all approach) to identify and integrate impact generation into their ways of working.    If you’re thinking about becoming B Corp certified and would like to learn more about the process or what other toolkits could help your business understand its potential for impact, contact me, I’d love to have a chat!    #BCorpMonth #NorthWest #ImpactImprovement #SME #Sustinability @BCorpUK
