Welcome to Net Impact

Net Impact is a new generation of leaders who

use our careers to tackle the world’s toughest

problems.

By doing so, we show the world it’s possible to

make a net impact that benefits not just the bottom

line – but people and planet, too.

The Opportunity

MAKE DOING GOOD AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR JOB.

Together, we spend about half our waking hours at work each

year.

• That’s more than 250 billion collective hours.

• Yet volunteering accounts for only 3 billion hours.

What if we could spend more of our working hours

creating social and environmental change, instead of

squeezing our impact into nights and weekends?

“The people changing the world can be found in every

industry, in every company, in every function. Net Impact

brings these people together, helping them integrate these

values into their work.” - Liz Abbett, Lifetime Member

Program Manager, Value Chain Compliance

and Social Responsibility | Cisco Systems
