About the Pathways to Greater Purpose & Profit Event Series
This is the third event in a series of three this Autumn.
In 2016, the Centre for Social Justice estimated that all UK businesses will have social purposes by 2026.
Where are you on your journey towards becoming a more purpose-driven business, and how can having a purpose beyond profit actually create more wealth for all?
This event will give you inspiration and practical actions to align your vision and mission with a bigger reason for being in business.
For every person who registers to join one of the events we will give support to an entrepreneur in Africa through our membership of the B1G1 Community, so by investing in your business, you get to help others too.
