How can business, investment and public policies drive systems change? This panel will celebrate progress in the business-for-good movement and discuss strategies and lessons to scale up positive change for the good of people and planet. The discussion will cover purpose-driven businesses, such as B Corps, and impact investment that are driving business action towards the SDGs. Panelists will also highlight the role of public policies, such as taxation, public procurement, regulations and new legal forms of business incorporation that can accelerate a much needed transition to a new, more sustainable and equitable economy.
