✨ Turning Dreams into Reality ✨ Back in 2022, I joined EIVEE™ with a dream of making a real impact in the fight against climate change. Today, I am thrilled to share that this dream has come true with the exciting partnership between Danske Bank & EIVEE™. This marks a significant milestone for EIVEE, gaining the trust and collaboration of such a reputable institution as Danske Bank. It is a crucial step towards EIVEE’s overarching vision of driving positive change for our planet and businesses globally. This collaboration is poised to accelerate the green transition for companies, playing a pivotal role in the journey toward achieving net-zero. EIVEE will be working closely with Danske Bank's business customers, providing them with accurate calculations and insights into their carbon emissions. This will empower them with the best foundation for a successful green transition. In the collective effort to combat climate change, taking responsibility for our actions is paramount. I have had the pleasure of witnessing Danske Bank's true dedication to being part of the solution, both in limiting climate change and supporting their customers in their sustainability transitions. A special thanks to Peter, Christina, Anders, Marc, Nicklas and rest of the Danske Bank team for a fantastic start to this partnership.

As we approach the AVPN South Asia Summit in December 2023, the rich tapestry of our cultures, challenges, and innovations comes to the forefront of my mind. Our theme this year, ‘Bringing Fringes to the Fore,’ is more than a mere statement; it’s a commitment to shine a light on the unseen and unheard voices within our communities. In South Asia, our diversity is not just a characteristic but our greatest asset. It propels our approach to social investment, urging us to seek and uplift stories often left in the shadows. Whether it’s the dynamic innovation hubs in our bustling cities or impactful grassroots initiatives in remote areas, every narrative plays a crucial role in the larger puzzle of sustainable development. Philanthropy in our region is evolving, transcending traditional methods to embrace a more strategic, evidence-based approach. This evolution is pivotal in ensuring our efforts reach those who need it most, especially at the fringes of our society. By viewing philanthropy through various lenses—considering regional nuances, thematic priorities like gender and climate, or innovative financial models—we redefine what it means to give boldly. At the same time, the exploration of innovative finance is particularly exciting. We are witnessing a paradigm shift in how financial tools and models are used to create lasting social impact. Impact investing, blended finance, and other approaches are not merely about generating returns; they’re about creating value that transcends monetary gains. As we gear up for the Summit, I invite you to join us in these critical conversations. Together, we can learn, share, and collaborate towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.

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 

It was so energising to be part of the peer learning session. A key takeaway was that for business to achieve their 2030 sustainablily ambitions they will need to capitalise on the energy and skills of their gen z and millennial leaders. We mapped out several strategies on how this can be achieved. I am holding my favourite SDG box , SDG 17 :Partnerships for the goals- when companies begin to collaborate outside their traditional collaboration lines, exponential change is unlocked. #UNGC #youngleaders #sdgs #theroleofbusinessinagenda2030 #MakingMiningSustainable #SDG17 #businessforgood
