This program brings together professionals in Bay Area corporations who have direct and indirect responsibility for the social and environmental impact of their organization and innovative social entrepreneurs.
Companies of all types are taking a fresh look at the broader impact of their work- how their employees, customers, and their communities are impacted by what and how they produce. While increasingly desirable for leaders to make sure their company has a positive societal impact, it is not often clear how that is done at scale, especially in a way that supports the business goals and financial targets. Enter social entrepreneurship.
One of the most rapidly growing areas within the field of entrepreneurship is that of for-profit social entrepreneurship- innovative, for-profit businesses designed to simultaneously drive a social or environmental impact. The Bay Area is fortunate to be home to the largest concentration of these for-profit social impact startups, many of which are already collaborating with larger traditional companies who are their customers, suppliers, and go-to-market partners.
The summit is designed to provide practical examples of the ways in which companies are driving impact while also achieving business goals.
The main THEMES of the program include:
Attracting and retaining talent - How are organizations such as Box and Cooley leveraging social enterprises to create a unique employee value proposition, and increase employee engagement?
Increasing revenue - How are organizations such as Cisco and Pearson utilizing entrepreneurship to drive into new markets?
Reducing costs - Which start-ups, such as Headspace and Meru Health, are helping to reduce corporate healthcare costs while simultaneously increasing worker productivity?
