As the world increasingly prioritises sustainable and inclusive economic development, businesses are recognising the immense opportunities that lie in addressing pressing social challenges.
The second edition of the Corporate Shared Value Awards, set for November 7 in Harare will shine a spotlight on companies that are making a significant impact by integrating social and environmental concerns into their business strategies.
Running under the theme Scaling Impact: Collective Action for Inclusive Economic Development, the event aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among government, businesses, civil society, development partners, and communities.
By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the awards seek to explore how we can leverage resources and expertise to address complex social, economic, and environmental challenges.
Research suggests that emerging economies offer immense potential for businesses that provide sustainable solutions to social problems.
By investing in products and services that address issues like poverty, healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability, companies can not only contribute to the well-being of communities but also tap into new markets and create long-term value.
The Corporate Shared Value Awards will recognise organisations that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to shared value principles.
By highlighting their innovative approaches and success stories, the event aims to inspire other businesses to adopt more sustainable and socially responsible practices.
