🌱 WHAT DOES IT REALLY TAKE TO CREATE SOCIAL IMPACT THROUGH BUSINESS?

What makes Social Impactful Business meaningful?

Sometimes, it starts with bringing together people who see business, society, and impact from different perspectives.

As shared in this interview, Social Business Creation is not about one single way of thinking. It is about learning from different perspectives, challenging each other’s ideas, and finding new ways to create sustainable impact.

Because meaningful impact does not happen from a single perspective.

It grows when we are willing to listen, learn, and see possibilities beyond what we already know. 🌱

And perhaps that is what makes the journey toward Social Impactful Business so valuable: it gives us the space to rethink how business can create value — for people, for society, and for the future.

Curious to explore these perspectives further?

Join our upcoming webinar:

🌍 SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS: DREAM OR REALITY?

🗓 Sunday, August 23, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM Montréal | 2:00 PM London | 10:00 PM Tokyo | 11:00 PM Sydney
💻 Join via Zoom: https://hecmontreal.zoom.us/j/83705215293

Come with your questions, your perspectives, and your curiosity.

Because sometimes, creating impact begins with seeing business differently. 🌱

🌱 WHAT IF THE VALUE WE CREATE COULD KEEP GROWING?

What stays in a customer’s heart and mind long after a transaction is over?

Perhaps, it is not simply the product they bought or the service they received but the trust, value, and positive impact they experienced along the way.

This is where Social Impactful Business opens up a different way of thinking about business.

When businesses create genuine social impact, they are not only addressing today’s needs. They are building trust that can last, value that can be shared, and a foundation for sustainable profit in the future.

And when that value continues to be shared from one customer to another, from one community to another impact has the potential to grow far beyond the original business.

🌍 Social impact is not only about what we create today. It is about what we leave behind, what continues to create value, and what can be carried forward into the future.

So, what kind of value do we want our businesses to create and what do we want people to remember?

🌍 WHAT IF SOME OF OUR BELIEFS ABOUT SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS ARE HOLDING US BACK?

There are still many assumptions that make people hesitate when it comes to Social Impactful Business.

✨That creating impact means sacrificing profitability.
✨That social impact is only for certain types of businesses.
✨That choosing purpose means choosing the harder or less successful path.

But what if these assumptions are exactly what we need to challenge?

In this interview, Professor Mai Thai invites us to look beyond these limiting beliefs and recognize the possibilities that emerge when we dare to learn, explore, and apply new ways of thinking about business.

Because moving towards Social Impactful Business is not simply about changing what a business does. It is about having the courage to question what we believe, learn what is possible, and take action towards creating greater value for both business and society.

Her message highlights the power of creativity, entrepreneurship, problem-solving, and youth leadership in turning passion into practical solutions for social challenges.
✨ Young people can turn their passions and strengths into solutions to social challenges and become future leaders of change.
But how can these ideas go beyond individual initiatives and become sustainable, scalable businesses that create real impact?

🌍 LET’S CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION.
SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS: DREAM OR REALITY?

Can businesses create meaningful social impact while remaining profitable, competitive, and scalable? Is social business realistic in today’s market — or does it remain an inspiring ideal?

🌍 CAN BUSINESS REALLY CREATE IMPACT AND STILL THRIVE?

Can a business create meaningful social impact while remaining financially sustainable?

In this interview, we explore a key question behind the Social Impactful Business movement: does creating positive change have to come at the expense of profit or can purpose and profit reinforce each other?

This conversation is just the beginning.

Join us for our upcoming webinar:

🌍 SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS: DREAM OR REALITY?

Together, we’ll challenge common assumptions, explore the real relationship between profit and purpose, and unpack what it actually takes to turn social impact into a sustainable business reality.

🌍 SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS: DREAM OR REALITY?

Can a business create real social impact while remaining profitable, competitive, and scalable?

Join us for an engaging global conversation as we explore the realities behind social business, beyond the theory and into the real world.

💡 What we’ll explore:
• Can social businesses truly compete in the real world?
• Does creating meaningful impact require significant financial resources?
• What can real businesses, leaders, and practical cases teach us?
• And why do we separate “social business” from “real business” in the first place?

🌱 The session will also feature SBC Alumni sharing their real journeys, experiences, challenges, and lessons learned, offering perspectives from those who are turning impact into action.

Whether you are building a business, leading change, exploring social entrepreneurship, or simply curious about the intersection of impact and business, we’d be honored to have you join us.

🤝 Let’s reconnect, exchange ideas, and ask the question together: Is impactful business a dream or a reality we can build?

💡 CAN BUSINESSES CREATE SOCIAL IMPACT WITHOUT SACRIFICING PROFIT?

For many people, doing good and doing business still feel like two competing goals. Creating social impact may sound meaningful, but can a business pursue purpose while remaining profitable, competitive, and scalable?

🌱 In this interview, one participant shares how exploring social impact business challenged that assumption and opened up a new perspective on what business can achieve.

And that brings us to a bigger question:

Can social impactful business truly work in the real world or is it still just a dream? Join us on 23 August 2026 as we take the conversation further in our upcoming webinar:

🌍 SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS: DREAM OR REALITY?

Together, we’ll explore the real relationship between profit and purpose, challenge common assumptions, and look at what it actually takes to turn social impact into a sustainable business reality.

🌍 SOCIAL IMPACTFUL BUSINESS: DREAM OR REALITY?

Can a business create real social impact while staying profitable, competitive, and scalable? Or is social business only possible with enough money and resources?

This webinar goes beyond theory to explore the questions that matter:

🔥 Can social businesses truly compete in the real world?
💰 Does creating impact require deep pockets?
📊 What do real businesses, leaders, and numbers tell us?
🤖 How are AI & technology making impact easier to scale?

And the bigger question: Why separate “social business” from “real business” at all?

Join us for a practical conversation about profit, purpose, technology, and the future of business.
