How to Integrate Social Impact in Your Career

Investors, shareholders and employees alike increasingly want to produce value that goes beyond financial returns. Many want to be conscientious how they do business and contribute to society in a meaningful, positive way. But how can this be done if you are a busy asset manager, a management consultant or just at the beginning of your career looking for more meaning in your life?

In this webinar, we will hear and discuss experiences of alumni who help make their companies OR their own individual journeys more impactful.

We will listen to perspectives of executives of large mainstream companies as well as of smaller firms focused on Impact - to help us think about ways to integrate impact in their professional journey.

This webinar is the result of a broad collaboration of INDEVOR (INSEAD’s global impact alumni network), GIBS (the Hoffman Global Institute for Business and Society) , the IAA (INSEAD Alumni Association) and INSEAD’s Lifelong Learning initiative.
