Corporate impact actors bring a unique mix of experience and resources, necessary to accelerate impact – but only if we’re strategic, smart and collaborative.

Corporate social investors – a crucial group in corporate impact – get lots of networking and learning opportunities, and proven strategies to mobilise resources from other impact capital providers. They can also increase their visibility and recognition in the impact community by publishing stories, articles and videos right here.

We offer corporate impact stakeholders – leaders from ESG, sustainability and corporate social impact fields – ways to learn how peers thrive in the social impact ecosystem and benchmark their initiatives. Find the necessary support to articulate the business case for impact, including data-driven reports, case studies and insights.

Coming in 2025: Unlocking the power of Corporate Impact

Through a dynamic suite of programs and initiatives, we empower our corporate members to drive meaningful change while building a thriving impact community. This year our work is structured around three powerful streams: 

1. Accelerate your corporate impact journey  

New Corporate Peer-to-Peer Program to activate a Community of Corporate Leaders for Impact 
As a Corporate impact actor, you may observe that social and environmental impact in the corporate sector is often confined to CSR, ESG, or reporting, missing the potential for integration within the business (even more recently in current ESG back-clash context).  

This is why Ashoka Changemaker Companies and Impact Europe have joined forces to offer a Peer-to-Peer learning journey for Corporate Leaders for impact with a drive and mandate to lead change inside their organisation.

• Become a more empowered Corporate Leader for impact sharing with your Peers the initiative you are willing to implement!
• Join a community of like-minded leaders who share their experiences, insights, and best practices. It’s a structured and collaborative Peer to Peer Learning Journey designed for Corporate Leaders who are committed to share and learn together on how to embed impact within their organizations through powerful communities of ambassadors.
• The initiative you may share with your peers can vary from a broad range of topics like HR-related (employees engagement, impact integration in talented leaders program), collaboration with procurement, supply chain, marketing, business or inclusive business teams.

If you are a Corporate Leader for impact and have the mandate to drive change, this program is for you!

• 18 March: Kick start of the program - Free Webinar: How to be a more empowered Corporate Leader for Impact? Get a glimpse from Philips and Kersia empowerment journey. Register here
