How can a business generate positive impact?

According to the report, the positive impact generated by their business has become a defining criterion of professional success for 39% of respondents-compared to 10% just two years ago. This is a sea change that holds true around the world.

For an entrepreneur, positive impact can be achieved through their professional activity, their investments or personal actions. Beyond the strict limits of the professional sphere, a business with a positive impact therefore aims to make the world a better place both from a social and environmental standpoint.
