Net Impact is a global network of leaders who are changing the world through business.

Net Impact is a global organization of students and professionals using business to improve the world. We offer a portfolio of programs and initiatives to educate, equip and inspire our over 10,000 members to make a tangible difference through business. Spanning six continents, our membership is one of the most influential networks of students and professionals in existence today and includes current and emerging leaders in corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, nonprofit management, international development and environmental sustainability.

Positive impact in their universities, organizations and communities

Through our chapter network of over 200 local leaders and our central offices in San Francisco, CA, Net Impact helps to inspire this change and allow our members to make a positive impact in their universities, organizations and communities.

• The Campus Greening Initiative enables student members to develop solutions to reduce their universities' environmental impact. Last year we launched a Green Challenge to help our members develop measurable results for their environmental efforts.
• Our Career Center is a comprehensive resource for recruiters and job seekers to find the companies and positions that allow them to put their ideals into action.
• We support Nonprofit Capacity Building through initiatives like Service Corps, which staffs volunteer consulting projects for nonprofits, and Board Fellows, an initiative that places members on nonprofit boards.
• The Curriculum Change program inspires and equips students to enhance their education with the addition of socially and environmentally responsible content and discussions.
• Impact at Work empowers our professional members to make a difference in how their company does business.
• We provide Education through programs like our Issues in Depth call series, which connects our members to CSR leaders for open conversations on current issues. And our Learning Center includes comprehensive online resources focused on helping members develop skills around corporate social responsibility.
• Net Impact Undergrad was developed in response to considerable demand from the millennial generation. In the 2007 academic year, we launched over 20 undergraduate chapters through the U.S. and Canada to help build the next generation of business leaders.

Net Impact Conference

Considered one of the premier events for students and professionals interested in socially and environmentally responsible business, the annual Net Impact Conference is designed to mobilize members through an exciting array of keynotes, panels, case studies, simulations and special events. Over 1,800 participants attended last year's event to gain a fresh perspective on the role of business in society and a new appreciation for their work as business leaders and their connection to a network of like-minded colleagues.

This year, Net Impact will host two conferences. In June, the 2008 Net Impact Europe Conference was held in Geneva, Switzerland. Keynote speakers included Simon Zadek of AccountAbility and Mary Robinson, the former President of Ireland and current President of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative. In November, the 2008 Net Impact North America Conference will be held in Philadelphia at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
