Poverty, inequality, youth unemployment and climate change are among the challenges we are facing. Business for good is becoming the new norm in this new era.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 2019\/2020, a global consulting team came together to produce a new piece of research:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/socialinnovationexchange.org\/legacy\/insights\/new-report-maps-motivations-business-create-shared-value-hong-kong\">Business for Good: Understanding the Motivations for Business to Create Shared Value<\/a>. Businesses today have to do more than traditional CSR practices if they want to identify new growth areas, stay competitive, attract customers and talents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this dialogue, we will discuss one of the key challenges facing businesses today &#8211; how to attract new audiences and continue to be relevant for younger customers with different priorities and values. We\u2019ve invited two inspiring speakers from Asia and Europe, to share how businesses are reinventing themselves to continue to thrive in the fast-changing world.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contributors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David Yeung,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/greenmonday.org\/en\/\">Green Monday<\/a>, HK&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Yeung is the Founder &amp; CEO of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/greenmonday.org\/en\/\">Green Monday<\/a>&nbsp;Group, a multi-faceted social venture with the mission to take on the world\u2019s most pressing crises of climate change, food insecurity, and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marcello Palazzi,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/now.partners\/\">NOW Partners<\/a>&nbsp;Co-founder and B Lab Global Ambassador<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcello is an impact entrepreneur and economist with 35 years of global experience focused on Better Economies, Enterprises and Entrepreneurs for the public good.

David Yeung, its founder, started Green Monday as an advocacy platform (be a vegetarian once a week on Monday!), encouraging \u201cbaby step actions\u201d which could be easily followed by anyone. It has since evolved as a company advocating a holistic green lifestyle, with subsidiaries carrying out R&amp;D and production of plant-based meat, distributing its brand of OmniPork to restaurants and fast-food chains (including MacDonald\u2019s in the form of OmniPork burgers and sandwiches), operating the Green Common restaurants and shops with its own products (OmniPork dim sum, rice packs and the like) as well as catering services. The Green Monday movement has been expanded to over 30 countries including Mainland China, Singapore, Thailand, USA and the United Kingdom.

Social innovation practices vary across different places around the world. Political, social and cultural contexts of innovation matter and it is vital we understand them to accelerate learning and exchange across borders and sectors, in order to better prepare for the common societal challenges we face as humanity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this conversation, we focus on building Asia&#8217;s Social Innovation narrative. Currently, many social innovation practices in Asia largely look to the US, UK and Europe for models. However, due to very different political structures and cultural foundations, the adaptation of social innovation in the region is very different. In this Global Dialogue, we are inviting Asian social innovation practitioners to exchange in conversations with their peers from around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1874","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
