To achieve the systemic changes towards sustainability that our economic model requires, large corporations must rethink their role as social actors, evolving their CSR programs and bringing impact truly to the core of the business. Only within the business model of large organizations is the scale and true capacity to make meaningful contributions to the SDGs. This change of vision requires deep conviction from the organization's leaders, because they will likely encounter resistance to change from some stakeholders along the way. At the same time, having a network of allies to share experiences can be of great help, capitalizing on learnings and avoiding unnecessary pain.
