The role of social business in the new normal

EventsResourcesVideosWebinarEvent Date: Jul 23rd, 2020

What role can social business play in the ‘new normal’?

Coronavirus will change the economy in dramatic and unforeseen ways. For some, business is now busier than ever, while for others staff are furloughed and the future uncertain. This webinar explores the role of social business during and coming out of the pandemic, and asks whether there is scope to grow the sector to respond to the challenges ahead.

Some of the key topics covered include:

  • how social businesses are often born from specific places and experiences
  • why the social purpose at their core matters
  • how social businesses have been responding to the pandemic and what role they have in building a fairer and more resilient economy
