Beyond Profit: How to Build Better Businesses

To celebrate the launch of Virgin StartUp signing up to the Better Business Act, our November MeetUp focussed on how we can all build better businesses and have a positive impact on society and the environment.

The drive towards more conscientious business has never been stronger, with consumers and investors looking for more purposeful brands to engage with. We know the world is changing, and that fundamentally, businesses need to change with it. But how?

The potential for creating lasting impact is great, surpassed only by the urgency to act. In this MeetUp, our guests explain how founders can start and scale businesses which go beyond greenwashing and create a purposeful yet profitable business.

Plus, Holly Branson, Virgin’s Chief Purpose and Vision Officer, also joins us for a Q&A about purpose-led businesses and how the Better Business Act will make an impact.

Featuring:

Victoria Stoyanova, founder of the Institute of Belonging

Chris Turner, Campaign Director of the Better Business Act

Dama Sathianathan, Partner at Bethnal Green Ventures
