After COP26 in Glasgow, the world is looking at the private sector and its leaders to pave the way for positive impact and transform the economy for good. In order to create this transformation, it is important to learn from the courageous who have taken bold steps in this direction and are changing the rules of business for the common good.
A conference that brought together more than 150 leaders was held in a unique setting at the Residence of Menna Rawlings, Ambassador of the United Kingdom in Paris, on November 9 2021. The leaders committed to accelerating the positive transformation of the economy participated in the discussion.

The time has come for companies to embrace purpose, profit is imperative, but it is no longer enough. The sincerity of leaders is often there. The question is no longer the why but the how. How to rethink value models, how to manage these contradictory injunctions, how to impact at scale.
One thing is certain, the power of employees is essential ; their willingness to contribute to a better world and to have the urge to move from words to deeds gives courage to these leaders to reinvent their model.
