Business Fights Poverty is trusted by some of the world’s most pioneering international businesses to curate meaningful and productive engagement with their peers and stakeholders, crowdsource expertise to solve practical social impact problems, and drive thought leadership. They have recently launched the outputs of three collaborations: on how to create systems within companies to drive commercial innovation with social impact; on how to build transformative corporate-NGO partnerships; and on how businesses can support refugee livelihoods through their value chains.
At the end of April, Business Fights Poverty also joined forces with leading charities and business networks including Brands on a Mission, the British Asian Trust, Concordia, Crown Agents, The League of Intrapreneurs, and the World Economic Forum's COVID Response Alliance for Social Entrepreneurs to call on businesses to take urgent action to help India respond to COVID-19. Please let me know if you would like me to send through further details on this.
