C Summit

Mobilising Corporate Resources for Impact: Invest, Collaborate, Transform

15 novembre 2021 - 16 novembre 2021 Porto, Portugal

Accessible à tous

The C Summit is the first and ultimate European Corporate Philanthropy and Social Investing Summit that gathers corporate social investors (CSIs, e.g. corporate foundations, impact funds, social businesses), corporate managers and CEOs keen on exploring the unique opportunities of corporate social investing, as well as academics and consultants interested in the topic or working with CSIs.

Accelerating climate change and increasing social inequalities, which have been further spurred by the global pandemic, urgently require us to mobilise more resources for societal impact. While the private sector has a vast amount of resources and expertise which could play a vital role in developing long-lasting and sustainable solutions, the move towards impact-driven societal solutions and systemic change remains insufficient. The public discourse on stakeholder capitalism is certainly on the rise, but it is far from becoming a reality.

Corporate philanthropy and corporate social investors (CSIs, e.g. corporate foundations, impact funds, social businesses) take up a unique position at the intersection of the non-profit and for-profit worlds. By nature, they are linked to a corporation, while pursuing a social mission to deliver positive impact on civil society. This unique positioning of CSIs sets them apart from other investors for impact that have no formal relationship to profit seeking entities.
