Description
For decades, business and society have been dictated by total shareholder return and hegemonic needs. Whilst this vision creates economic growth and societal changes, it also creates a power imbalance and a gap between globalization and development. Now, however, it has become a pertinent need for world leaders and business heads to revisit the exigency of sustainable businesses and inclusive societies and voice for business and society as a force for good.
Businesses and society are relying on Total Social Impact and Gender Mainstreaming lens to leverage sustainable and scalable businesses and societal initiatives. Incorporating social impact and gender mainstreaming as a core activity of business and societal growth, right at the inception stage, reduces the risks of negative events and opens new opportunities. The growing recognition of SDGs and stride towards Global Goals 2030 has further catalyzed focus on innovative strategies to ensure sustainable businesses and inclusive societies.
