POSTPONED The Business of Social Impact - Webinar sponsored by Intact

October 26, 2022, 10:00 - 11:00 AM

Thank you to everyone who registered for this webinar.  Unfortunately it is being postponed until later this fall.  We will advise once a new date/time has been selected.

 

Society’s expectations of business are changing – according to the 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer, more than half of customers and talent in Canada buy from and work with brands that share their values and beliefs. An effective social impact approach will help companies, including small ones, keep pace with a rapidly evolving society. This session will outline the fundamentals of social impact, the value it can bring and ways you can mobilize your business and employees to help others.

A special thank you to Intact for sponsoring this webinar!
