The Doing Business Doing Good Summit featured 30 inspiring sustainable leaders. The Summit brought together and inspired thousands of business leaders to accelerate using their businesses as a force for good
In September 2017 the 1st Global Free Virtual Sustainability Summit took place featuring 30 educational interviews with a diverse group of purpose-driven sustainability leaders, gurus, best-selling authors, pioneers, thought leaders, social entrepreneurs, and CEOs of multinational companies.
They told inspirational stories and shared practical strategies, tools, tips, and best practices on how to use your business as a force for good.
Doing Business Doing Good not only believes in sharing stories that inspire change but also believes they can inspire to ACT for a better world and WOW this is what happened:
Thousands of conscious business leaders have participated in the Summit
From more than 55 countries across the world
99% of people have been inspired by the DBDG interview series
And it did not stop here… Most participants have directly translated the inspiration into actions in their own work and field of expertise.
THIS IS WHAT OTHERS SAID ABOUT THE FIRST DOING BUSINESS DOING GOOD SUMMIT:

Virginie Helias, Global VP Sustainability Procter & Gamble
“The possibility to listen to interviews of people you only know by the books they have written and get access to additional content. Watching the interviews, either short or long has not only broadened my knowledge but also ensured me that there are so many ways to work on sustainability whether you are working for a corporate or in your community as Ezekiel Ole Katato shared. Truly inspirational.”
Geanne van Arkel, Head of Sustainability EMEA Interface
"The DBDG Summit provides much-needed narratives for purposeful, sustainable enterprises. With thoughtful insights, multiple perspectives, and actionable ideas, it works as an educational as well as an inspirational platform for a journey toward a sustainable society. Highly recommended!"
Dalen Jacomino, Journalist and S2 Sustainability Strategy Board Member
“Sadly business is still involved in doing harm to nature and society - but more and more businesses discover that more profit is created by doing less or no harm. Change is happening. And that's the inspiring part of Doing Business Doing Good: it informs leaders and changemakers that a holistic skill set is needed if we want to achieve progress: knowledge about Sustainability, the will to innovate, and the capacity to realize the change in small and big corporations. Doing Business Doing Good is an inspiration for leaders.”
Matthias Mueller, President of The Natural Step Switzerland
“The DBDG Virtual Summit was a real gift to me. It came at the exact time I had given up my job to search for a more purposeful and impactful means of life. Through listening to all interviews, I have gained many new insights and have gotten a lot more focus on unfolding my path in sustainability. The Summit really helped me build my network, keeping up to date with the latest developments, meeting people and even helping out with some projects from a distance. In conclusion; the Summit was very worthwhile to me!”
Marina de Groot, Energy Coach
“The Doing Business Doing Good platform has helped me to bolster my own sense of purpose. I feel part of a group of entrepreneurs that understand social enterprises, like any other business, have to make products that are value-creating for their clients. Real scale and impact only come if the product addresses a real need or problem at the right price. SDGs, here we come!”
Rogier de Jonge, Social Entrepreneur
“Watching the videos on the Doing Business Doing Good platform always turned out as a real motivation boost for me. I actually made it a habit to watch one of the insightful and engaging videos after a tough day or whenever I felt the need for some uplift or inspiration and got many great ideas from them.”
Katrin Meincke, Senior Communications Manager Global Fabric Care, Procter & Gamble
