Guiding Principles
This is a list of some of the guiding principles for speakers, attendees and partners of the Global Impact Summit. Our focus is on creating diverse, inclusive and safe spaces for people.
1. This summit is about ensuring that impact is seen as a collective journey, not an isolated effort and that’s why we have the four segments in the room.
2. It’s about helping align business values with social outcomes.
3. Embedding impact into a wider culture, either at a societal or business level.
4. It’s Ok to be provocative but not political, passionate but not aggressive.
5. The goal is to move the sector forward and move from trying to convince people of the importance to social impact to equipping them for real world change.
6. We will use the power of story to encourage, educate and equip delegates.
7. Driven by a belief that generosity is the only universal language on the planet and a goal of ensuring generosity remains at the core of the human experience.
