Webinar: How to embed ESG & social value into your shared living business

Our research shows that embedding ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and social value (social, environmental and economic impact) has many benefits for your business. In addition, it is becoming increasingly important to investors, municipalities, staff and consumers. However, demonstrating social value and implementing an impact strategy may seem challenging - where do you begin?

This free webinar is for shared living operators, who may be in the development or operational stage, and want to learn about creating, measuring, reporting and communicating social value. The webinar will provide guidance on getting started, or on refining, your impact strategy.

• Gain investment from aligned and impact-driven investors
• Create engaging marketing material based on your impact metrics
• Attract residents and staff who want to live in a more holistic and conscious way

Components of the webinar include:

• Getting started on organising your data
• Understanding methods for creating a strategy and measuring your impact
• Learning about embedding, branding, communicating, and marketing your impact strategy

Testimonials

Before the workshop, I felt quite new to the topic of impact in shared living. Afterwards, I felt I could already begin developing an impact strategy for Upside. I appreciated the examples of different impact frameworks and on branding. If you are looking for some guidance on how to embed ESG and social value into your shared living business, I highly suggest joining one of their future workshops.
