Coherence between corporate impact agendas allows companies to accelerate their transformation and this implies an articulation between the business and its impact strategies.
Increasingly, companies are looking to be more strategic in determining their investments to generate impact from a holistic view of ESG, impact investing (including corporate venturing) and philanthropic actions. Therefore, there is no doubt that corporate impact actors are key players in the philanthropy and impact ecosystem.
However, there are still huge gaps to strengthen corporate strategy and go beyond traditional paths to maximize the impact they can create.
Therefore, at Latimpacto, through our Corporate Impact Initiative, responding to the needs of regional stakeholders and taking lessons learned from the successful experiences of our sister networks in Europe -EVPA- and Asia -AVPN- on this route, we are promoting effective ways to promote social impact through the strategic use of corporate resources.
In this Entre-Pares Corporate Impact Program, we take a comprehensive look at the Capital Continuum, beyond the philanthropic exercise and the standards and reports. We seek to strengthen impact strategies that articulate the corporate purpose in a coherent and comprehensive manner to deploy resources more efficiently.
The objective of the Program is to accompany corporate leaders and their Corporate Impact Vehicles -foundations, funds, accelerators, sustainability, CSR and innovation areas- (ICVs) in strengthening their impact strategies according to the business models and particularities of each one, understanding the local context and the needs of the different markets in which they operate. All this through
- Peer-to-peer learning: Exchange of lessons learned, best practices and routes for action among peers.
- Exchange and visibility: Connect with a group of corporate peers and managers of impact vehicles.
- Knowledge: Design and build your own route with accompaniment and access to the most innovative knowledge materials and practices.
- Integral look: Close the gaps and know the potential for articulation between the corporation and its corporate impact vehicles to enhance the value it delivers to its stakeholders.
Our methodologies of knowledge and connections seek to address, through conversations and practical workshops, with speakers with a comprehensive, international outlook and with a focus on Latin America, the stages that allow:
The Program is a cycle of learning, connection and visibility for our corporate members and organizations that wish to be part of Latimpacto. It is just the beginning of a continuous path of knowledge that we have been preparing for a long time in Latimpacto, with the regional view and experience of our sister networks in Europe -EVPA- and Asia -AVPN-.
