Online webinar
The private sector, corporations or foundations alike, are looking for ways to link impact and strategy – using socio-economic impact data to inform the selection of social causes you support, or to identify business model to streamline operations and client offering. This could also be conducted for the purpose of informing dialogue with their stakeholders to maintain license to operate, or strengthening reputation. Making this link, let alone a causal relationship, is not straightforward, and there is a need for companies to share best practice, for example:
– How has socio-economic impact data influenced business strategies?
– What kind of socio-economic impact data are most useful?
Standard Chartered is pleased to share insights and experience of utilising development impact data to inform business direction.
Yulanda Chung, Head of Development Impact of Standard Chartered, will be sharing the bank’s experience in this regard.
When? 7th October 2014, 4pm, Singapore time
