This program brings together professionals in Bay Area corporations who have direct and indirect responsibility for the social and environmental impact of their organization. There are many efforts underway in large and mid-sized companies designed to increase social impact, many of which go well beyond traditional corporate social responsibility efforts. This program is designed to provide practical examples of the ways in which companies are driving impact while also achieving business goals.
