Meaningful Business 100
How are entrepreneurial leaders driving meaningful business?
For this Uncommon Table series, we’re thrilled to partner with Meaningful Business—a curated global network of values-based leaders who are combining purpose and profit to help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We’ll talk to Meaningful Business 100 (MB100) leaders across every industry, role, and company size about how they’re achieving sustainable, positive impact. How do they successfully use a people-centered approach to their business strategy and co-creative partnerships? How do they ensure they are living their values (both as leaders and as a business) and not simply purpose-washing? What are the mindset shifts needed to create long-term economic, social, and environmental value?
Tom Lytton-Dickie, founder of Meaningful Business, will help facilitate our conversations and connections with these inspiring entrepreneurial leaders.
Stay tuned! The fall 2022 schedule is coming soon.
