I guide individuals and brands to discover their Social Potential® and create Brands that Make a Difference. I promote social enterprises and fair trade, fostering connections and the development of impact ecosystems.
I'm honoured to be part of the upcoming Policy Forum organised by SEWF - Social Enterprise World Forum C.I.C., where I’ll have the opportunity to share our experiences and perspectives on fostering impact ecosystems and creating fertile ground for social enterprises to thrive. At EKHOS, our drive to connect and build bridges across impact ecosystems has led us to engage in more global spaces, where we can exchange diverse ideas, learn, and grow together. 👉 I’ll be participating in a session on "Standards and Governance: Their Importance for Procurement," where we’ll discuss with networks and policymakers to identify key priorities and actions relevant to the Americas, with global applicability. I’m excited to collaborate with experts such as Manie Grewal from REDF, Amanda Kiessel from Good Market, and Hina West Global Impact Director at People and Planet First. Join us for this incredible global event! https://lnkd.in/ea-HyyXb
