Inclusive Impact Summit

The Rutgers Institute for Corporate Social Innovation (RICSI) is proud to host the inaugural virtual Inclusive Impact Summit on March 30th and March 31st.

With this summit, we will bring together a wide-ranging group of experts across academia and practice by focusing on three themes:

Climate Justice

Climate change is a social as well as environmental issue, one that disproportionately impacts poorer individuals and communities. The RICSI’s work in this space links social justice to climate change to ensure we move the needle in a holistic way.

Health Equity

Health outcomes should not depend on location, race, or socioeconomic status. The RICSI explores the social determinants of health to recommend practical steps for better — and more equitable — outcomes

Shared Prosperity

How can we ensure economic prosperity reaches the individuals and communities that need it most? The RICSI’s work, anchored in Newark, New Jersey, explores local, national, and global factors related to inclusive growth.

These themes will be explored through the lenses of Research, Practice, and Action.

The Inclusive Impact Summit will have high-level speakers such as:

• Noa Gafni, Executive Director of the Rutgers Institute for Corporate Social Innovation
• Jonathan Holloway, President of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey
• Joe Kenner, CEO of Greyston Bakery
• Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle
