W4S 2020 Impact Report

Dear W4S Community,

2020, was a year of enormous challenges. It made all of us stop, observe, and reflect on what really matters. Many of us at W4S decided to transform these challenges into opportunities that re-imagined our personal lives, our families, our businesses, and our communities. COVID-19 presented us with valuable lessons that encouraged us to think differently, to re-invent our innerselves, and to get more creative about activating a more caring society. 
One of 2020’s silver linings surfaced in the numerous studies showing that businesses were beginning to shift from profit-only mandates to those that prioritized people and planet. Consumers continued asserting their preference for sustainable, fair-trade products and services. COVID-19 defined the 21st Century as a time of accelerated transformation, moving from “shareholder” to “stakeholder” values, catapulting society into a more responsible, inclusive ecosystem for all.
During these complex and uncertain times, W4S delivered on its mission to provide inspiring talks, tools, and best practices that educated and inspired others on the Caring Economy. Some of our highlights include:
