This is one of the most proactive and effective networks I have come across; there is a culture of collaboration and action that makes things happen fast. Add to that the chance to spend time with and mentor specific members building future-reader businesses; this is time and effort well spent.

I met my tribe – people to help me improve business for impact. Where else can you connect with like minded folks to support the SDG goals across the universe, investing only 30 minutes of your time? I met one person from Switzerland, one from the UK, one from South Africa and another member from Germany in one day!

Rajinie Singh Lead, CSR & Sustainability, Tata Coffee

If you’re a startup or a big business trying to make an impact and deciding which network to join, I can’t recommend MB enough. Between the networking, workshops and personal touch the team provides, it is a community well worth looking into.

Michael Maggio President, iWrc
