Spark the Change Melbourne, is part of a global series of independently organised events that are also held in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, India and Canada.
Taking advantage of our contacts, we asked Marjan de Jong, a Social Impact expert and Social Entrepreneur, who is based in The Netherlands, what businesses can learn from Social Enterprises; combining purpose, with profit.
Although she can’t be with us in person on 1 May, we really appreciate the insights and her contribution. Thanks, Marjan!
