Social impact - Can business change the world?

What is the future for business and social impact?

Hands holding a globe

Over recent years, we’ve seen a surge in companies incorporating social and environmental policies into their business model – albeit driven by consumer activism or corporate bottom lines.

But is the movement enough to drive real change when addressing urgent crises such as climate change and inequality?

Does the government need to adopt stronger legislation to ensure businesses address social and environmental issues?

In this episode of Think: Business Futures, presenter Stefan Posthuma is joined by Bronwen Dalton, Director of the Masters of Not-for-Profit and Social Enterprise Program and Claire Wright, a business historian at the UTS Business School to explore the systemic changes in the space of business and social impact.
