Net Impact 2012 Conference

Twenty years ago, when sustainability was a fringe concept in the business world, a small group of friends created a network for business students who wanted to make a difference. Ten years ago, sustainable business started looking like a trend. Today, tens of thousands of new leaders are making a positive net impact through their work - in every industry, job function and every stage of career.

It's time to take everything we've accomplished in the last twenty years and accelerate our rate of change. We need to think bigger and reach further to create solutions for our world today and tomorrow.

5ème édition du World Forum Lille : « Oser la richesse »

Chers amis et membres de Net Impact Paris,

Le World Forum Lille, organisé pour la cinquième fois consécutive par le Réseau Alliances, est partenaire de Net Impact Paris. Nous sommes heureux de vous inviter à cet évènement.

DU 15 AU 17 NOVEMBRE 2011

5^ème édition du World Forum Lille sur le thème « Oser la richesse »

Lille, Lille Grand Palais

Initié par Réseau Alliances et présidé par Philippe Vasseur, ancien Ministre, le World Forum Lille est un cycle d’événements internationaux dont l’objectif est de provoquer une économie mondiale responsable, en faisant connaître les « Bonnes Pratiques » d’entreprises (TPE, PME ou grands groupes) qui, partout dans le monde, exercent de manière responsable leur activité.

Pour sa 5ème édition, 5000 responsables d’entreprises, experts de la RSE, syndicalistes, représentants d’ONG et étudiants de toutes nationalités sont attendus à Lille pour débattre et s’inspirer des Bonnes Pratiques RSE. Le thème de l’année, « Oser la richesse », appelle les entreprises à créer de la valeur non seulement pour elles-mêmes, mais aussi pour l’ensemble de la société.

Xavier Fontanet, le dirigeant d'Essilor depuis 1996, Bibi Russell, l'ancien top model international devenue chef d'entreprise engagée et Vinod Kumar, le PDG de Tata Communications... De grandes personnalités aux profils variés nous honoreront de leur présence aux côtés de plus de 50 entreprises du monde entier, créatrices de richesses plurielles et partagées.

En complément du programme de conférences et ateliers, découvrez le World Forum Village, un espace de networking au coeur du Forum.

Ce village éco-conçu de 2000m² est dédié aux échanges entre participants et au partage de bonnes pratiques. Des « prises de parole flash » permettant des échanges privilégiés et « intimistes » aux formations et ateliers interactifs dédiés aux jeunes ou aux entreprises, cet espace est « le cœur-vivant » du forum.

Enfin, le village est aussi le lieu dédié à la signature du Manifeste de l’entreprise responsable et à la mobilisation des entreprises pour faire entendre leur voix à Rio+20 !
