IMPACT
Trips
Next upcoming trip:
Amsterdam Spring 2024
Visit leading examples & develop your roadmap for the best outcomes.
Creating impact effectively is key if we want to tackle the enormous global issues we are facing. And impact is increasingly important to be competitive. Those that get impact right are more competitive long term by gaining customer loyalty and referrals, as an attractive employer, anticipating stranded assets and resource scarcity, and increased brand value, to name a few.
But not all impact strategies lead to the best outcomes. And some sadly end up doing more harm than good.
Join our two day trip to be inspired by visiting leading examples, mixed with short workshop sessions to develop a roadmap for the best outcomes.
"Sustainability is not a destination. Sustainability is a trajectory.
And you can never say 'I made it', because you can always improve."
Eduardo Balarezo, Founder Lonesome George & Co, Ecuador & US
