Net Impact is…
the story of a movement
Net Impact empowers a new generation of leaders to use their careers to tackle the world’s toughest social and environmental problems. Over twenty years ago, Net Impact started as a small network of MBA students who wanted to make a difference. They believed business could be a force for good, a radical idea at the time. Thanks to their pioneering efforts over the last two decades along with others who shared their values, sustainability in business has moved from the fringe, to a trend, to the mainstream.
