Our Causeway partners at Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce are hosting a Business Festival from 30-31 March 2022 and invite Causeway members to attend.
Edinburgh’s Business Festival is open to all, from entrepreneurs to business leaders to policy makers, they welcome all to join.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic we have all faced many challenges, and been forced to rethink some of the ways we live, work, and have fun. In addition, many businesses and leaders have had to re-evaluate their leadership, operations and increasingly, their purpose.
The concept of purpose-driven business has gathered momentum in recent years and even more so during the pandemic, when many people realised that ‘businesses as usual’ could not carry on. Companies who have a commitment to a purpose beyond simply profit and growth have been proven to have weathered the storm most successfully. In fact, in the last financial crisis, certified B Corps were 63% more likely to survive than other businesses of similar size.
At the EBF, they’ll be exploring this topic in more detail through expert panel discussions, keynote sessions and practical workshops designed to help us understand and move forward with more purpose.
