Welcome to ‘Redefine the Bottom-line: from Profit to Impact,’ a podcast dedicated to exploring how corporations can transition into impact enterprises.

In this introductory episode, we explore a transformative shift in how business success is evaluated: through impact accounting and its growing influence on the future of enterprises.

Unlike traditional ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices, which focus on measuring a company’s adherence to sustainability guidelines, impact accounting goes beyond.

It quantifies the effect businesses have on people and the planet, translating these effects into the language of currency. This enables organizations to prioritize impact alongside financial value in their decision-making processes.

We’ll also discuss the broader vision of the Impact Economy, where businesses go beyond profit generation and are designed to produce measurable societal and environmental benefits. This is where impact entrepreneurship thrives – creating ventures that tackle social challenges and redefine what success looks like.

Our aim is to inspire businesses of all sizes to embrace the path of becoming impact enterprises. This episode will provide executives and senior leaders with practical insights on aligning financial goals with the greater good ensuring that profitability and positive impact coexist.

Join us as we break down how these concepts can transform industries, economies and our shared future.
