Katarzyna Zalewska, Sustainable Transformation Practice, Kantar: “In an era of sustainable business transformation – driven not only by current challenges, but perhaps more importantly by changing and proliferating ESG regulations – it is critical to unlock private capital for truly responsible environmental and social investments. It should be emphasized that this does not just mean shifting priorities from profit to social goals. The essence of this approach is to strike a balance between achieving economic goals and generating a positive social and environmental impact to achieve sustainable development and progress. At Kantar, in Poland as well as on a global level, we firmly believe that this is the quintessential way for commercial entities to realize sustainability. As we observe the increasingly dynamic transformation, even revolution, of companies in various countries towards greater responsibility, we remain a partner that advises by providing the highest quality consumer data, but also seeks to inspire and enrich with our own practical experience. We were all the more eager to participate in the international initiative of the Social Impact Alliance for Central & Eastern Europe, which encourages companies to strategically engage in responsible activities and demonstrates that, in addition to their philanthropic value, these activities can not only fit into the business formula, but also help build an advantage in a highly competitive environment.” The new comprehensive analysis,  "Unlocking Private Capital for Social Good in Central Eastern Europe" is now available for download free of charge: https://lnkd.in/dSHynzmg The report is a must-read for institutions and foundations who want to positively impact the countries of Central & Eastern Europe – philanthropists, businesses, investors, public administration, nonprofits and academia. Join us in our mission to drive systemic change and strengthen the social impact ecosystem in Central and Eastern Europe through education, cooperation, and advocacy – gain exclusive insights and download the report now. #philanthropy #positiveimpact #socialimpact #corporatesocialresponsibility #CSR #employeevolunteering #probono #CEE #impact #socialgood #socialeconomy #sustainability 

How to bring social factors strategically into the Board room (and trigger actual integration into the workplace and corporate supply chains)? Grateful to Unilever for giving us a peek into the kitchen and for PwC for the write up and analysis.

I had a great time being part of the panel discussion "Is pro bono worth it?" at the recent Good Agencies Summit. My fellow panellists Alex Holliman and Russell Jones and I all agreed with a resounding yes, but still covered some of the challenges we've experienced. It was lovely to meet so many people interested in pro bono working as part of everyday agency life. Some of my thoughts from the discussion: 🌍 Balancing profit and purpose: juggling pro bono commitments with regular work can be demanding. It's essential to manage time and expectations (internally and externally) effectively. ☄ Impact and measurement: pro bono work is not just about giving time, it can have a real impact when we use our skills and experience. That impact (for our teams and clients) can be challenging to measure. Sometimes it is immeasurable, but in a good way! 🙋♀️ Value: pro bono and ESG work can give us the chance to contribute, particularly to causes and in areas we feel passionate about. However, depending on the area and individual sensitivities, it might not be appropriate or possible to support all causes. Having a clear ESG/pro bono policy can help in these situations. Overall, it was an engaging discussion on how we can leverage our talents to create positive change. And I promise I don't normally look so stern! . . . #ProBono #ProBonoWorking #MedCommsForGood #BetterBusiness #BCorp #BCorporation #AgencyLife #BetterBusiness #MedicalAffairs #Pharmaceuticals
