Third edition of the For Impact Event and Fair launched

The Academy of Givers is excited to announce the third edition of the For Impact Event and Fair that will take place on 12 March at Corinthia St George’s Bay, providing businesses a unique opportunity to come together, learn from industry experts, develop their ESG and CSR strategies and engage with various Voluntary Organisations, foundations, and social/environmental organisations championing different causes.

At this year’s event, which is a continuation of its mission to bring companies and individuals together to learn how to be more effective in their corporate responsibility and giving efforts, while facilitating collaboration between businesses and Voluntary Organisations, the Academy of Givers will also be sharing a preview of impactful insights from the research findings of its first Giving Report in Malta, shedding a light on how businesses give back to society and support VOs.  The Report will also provide useful recommendations for changes to  Giving in Malta, seeing how best to share resources and expertise to have a positive impact and improve the social and environmental situation. It will promote efficiency and a foundation to develop the sector, while creating long-term impact.

Building on the success of the previous editions of the For Impact Event and Fair, Business CEOs and Executives, HR and CSR managers, ESG and Sustainability Officers, Corporate and Philanthropic Foundations, and leaders of Voluntary and Social Purpose Organisations are being invited to participate in a day filled with networking opportunities, knowledge-sharing, and hands-on workshops.
