Walking the line between profit and impact

Kurzthese

Everyone is talking about impact and sustainable business. But actually walking that talk is still tough business in Germany today where the concept of Social Entreprise is far from mainstream among conventional investors. Still, embracing the challenge of aligning impact and profit holds a great promise of development and happiness for each entrepreneur – and for society at large.
