Companies play an important role in transitioning to a more fair and sustainable society by being good corporate citizens and operating responsibly, but they can go a step beyond by engaging and enabling purpose driven stakeholders, like the third sector, in achieving their goals.

In this sense, private companies can help social entrepreneurs and social businesses scale and amplify their impact by building bridges across their organizations and becoming “resource providers”: offering expertise, transferring knowledge, technology,  funding or even network to support their mission.

Corporations also get direct benefits of these relationships: an additional source for innovation, a platform to engage with their community, an engaged workforce supporting these social initiatives,  and overall, from a systemic perspective, actively supporting a social mission that will have an impact in society and all their actors. 

It seems simple and obvious, but what’s preventing these collaborations from happening more often?

How can the corporate world credibly acting for systemic change? 

How should third sector and corporate work together?

Join us in this an active work session to reflect, debate and generate ideas that could benefit both the private and the third sector in building more bridges to scale social impact.
