What social impact business design graduates say

"We learned so much from Sue and Anne! There is a new way of being and doing business: doing good while doing well! Social impact is really important, and everyone has a role to play. You need to measure your impact because investors align money with a wonderful legacy, they are not just giving money away. What difference do you make in the world?"

Flavia Kirunda

Programme Manager, BEAT Africa, South Africa

"Businesses and philanthropy have traditionally worked in silos. Anne and Sue showed us they are coming together in a new way: businesses should have a positive social and ecological impact. And, social impact investors are looking for such investment-ready businesses. To future proof and scale our business we created a much bigger vision and streamlined our operations strategically.”
