  • 1.  RICSI hosts virtual "Inclusive Impact Summit" March 30 and 31st

    Posted 03-19-2022 07:47
    The Rutgers Institute for Corporate Social Innovation (RICSI) is proud to host the inaugural virtual "Inclusive Impact Summit" on March 30th and March 31st. 

    Information and free registration is now open at: https://ricsi.business.rutgers.edu/events/inclusive-impact-summit 

    With this timely summit, we will bring together a wide-ranging group of experts across academia and practice by focusing on three themes:


    Climate Justice 

    Climate change is a social as well as environmental issue, one that disproportionately impacts poorer individuals and communities. The RICSI's work in this space links social justice to climate change to ensure we move the needle in a holistic way. 

     

    Health Equity 

    Health outcomes should not depend on location, race, or socioeconomic status. The RICSI explores the social determinants of health to recommend practical steps for better - and more equitable - outcomes. 

     

    Shared Prosperity 

    How can we ensure economic prosperity reaches the individuals and communities that need it most? The RICSI's work, anchored in Newark, New Jersey, explores local, national, and global factors related to inclusive growth. 


    These themes will be explored through the lenses of Research, Practice, and Action. 

    The Inclusive Impact Summit will have high-level speakers such as: 

    • Marla Blow, President and COO of the Skoll Foundation 
    • Noa Gafni, Executive Director of the Rutgers Institute for Corporate Social Innovation 
    • Lord Michael Hastings 
    • Jonathan Holloway, President of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 
    • Joe Kenner, CEO of Greyston Bakery 
    • Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle 
    • Halla Tomasdottir, CEO of the B Team and former presidential candidate, Iceland 
    • Steve Varley, Global Vice Chair -Sustainability of EY 
    • Andrew Winston, Co-Author of Net Positive 

    We hope to see you there!
