CFO Weekly
Social Impact Companies w/ Julian Love
September 22, 2020
These days, it’s more important than ever before for companies to have some form of social impact. We don’t need to look any further than the companies that came out and took a strong stand for the Black Lives Matter movement, or the negative impact on the companies that stayed quiet.  Customers are paying attention to what companies are saying and doing, or not saying and doing, and particularly the younger generations are wanting to feel like the companies they’re doing business with are committed to making the world a better place. But how does a company both deliver value to its shareholders and make a positive social impact at the same time? Is that even possible? Or are the two mutually exclusive?  On this episode of the CFO Weekly podcast we talk with Julian Love, Chief Business Officer at St. HOPE, an organization whose mission is to transform Oak Park Sacramento through public education & economic development. We talked about:  -What a social impact company is -Why they matter -Why companies are shifting their focus towards being socially impactful -Why the younger generations are driving this change.  For more interviews from the CFO Weekly podcast, check us out on Apple or Spotify or your favorite podcast player!
