Impact
Ok, we travelled the world to tell inspiring stories of social entrepreneurs, but what impact did we actually have ? Here's a sum up of our accomplishments and milestones:
-
We interviewed and covered the stories of +50 leading social entrepreneurs, across 20 countries, from February to July 2022 🌍
-
For each company, we produced a 3min storytelling video (problem, solution, impact) and recorded a podcast episode with the founder or an executive 🎙
-
In total, we completed 35 field visits in farms, schools, factories, ministries, and more 🧑🌾
-
We enabled 6 Social Entrepreneurs to benefit from a FREE business case (usually 10k) on which senior EHL students worked in CSR classes 🤝
-
And before you ask, all the CO2 emissions generated during the tour were compensated by our sponsor Climate Positive, which funded community-led projects that prevent/remove emissions (plantation of trees and mangroves, access to renewables, protection of biodiversity) 💚
-
We reached +10k people on social media across over 35 countries
-
The World Tour of Social Entrepreneurs was featured in several media such as SFG - Sustainable Finance Geneva, and Heidi.news 📰
-
We were invited to speak on live national television in Kyrgyzstan, to explain social entrepreneurship and tell more about our journey 🇰🇬
-
We held an exhibition of our work on EHL Campus during the Sustainability week in March 2023
-
We were invited to present our work and highlight the concept of social entrepreneurship at several conferences, notably Building Bridges in Geneva and the World Food Forum in Rome 🗣
-
Shaan gave a TEDx Talk about growing your potential, and chasing your dreams, where he notably explains how SDG Impact Stories was born.
