This post about Fiserv showing up as a force for good and their commitment to engage and advance communities to create broader impact is so very true! In fact, Fiserv has worked hard to support traditionally underserved minority lead companies like https://lnkd.in/eWX3ehQM by going far and beyond to provide us with the capabilities to rapidly disburse emergency funds to victims of crime. Fiserv's infrastructure allows us support the often helpless when they need it most! It really counts when someones actual life may be at stake! Sending a BIG shout out to Kevin Turner for his support & leadership and to the team at Fiserv like Wayne A Clarke @angela moss and @Jay Sweeny. We really cannot thank you all enough for guiding our fintech vision into reality and for helping us to support the 20 million+ American citizens that are criminally victimized annually! #communityengagement #fiserv #good #fintechs #VOCA #digitaldisburemnet #impact #advancingcommunities #survivorgapfunding #commitment

Thanks to B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand for an inspiring week at the B Corp Assembly last week. With over 300 attendees and 8,000 B Corps globally, there was plenty to discuss. Discussions covered the rise of woke capitalism, balancing profit and purpose, changing B Corp standards and reporting vs performance, what role we can play in collective action and navigating partnerships, and story-telling and its role in shaping culture, among others. Most importantly, it was a collective of good people who had real conversations about forging change. What's working and what's not and how we can do better. So, here are a few takeaways: https://lnkd.in/gyzdYri5 What inspired me? ·        Hearing how Michele Wilson, Founder of B Lab AWWA Period care, is fighting period poverty in NZ by giving 2% of their revenue towards resolving this issue and successfully campaigning for free period products in schools. What challenged me? ·        A preview of Damon Gameau's new film on fighting the climate crises, seen through the eyes of child activists (not a dry eye in the room), left me determined to create more action to work towards a better future. What am I taking away? ·        Great conversations with the likes of Laura Reed on ESG Governance from Edge Impact, reassurance that the B Corp new draft standards will be creating more value and pushing B Corp forward by Clay Brown, and recognition that B Corp needs to be inclusive for First Nations businesses globally because we have so much to learn from the likes of leaders such as Eileen Bowden, who inspired us with her closing words. Shoutout to Max Van Biene GAICD, Andrea Spencer-Cooke, Kate Sherburn, Alexander Dirksen, Kira D., Lauren Cain, Shasta O'Loughlin, and Jen Djula for the great chats. #bcorpmonth #intrepidtravel

Did you know that over 1 billion people worldwide are members of cooperatives? A few days ago, we celebrated the International Day of Cooperatives, a day dedicated to recognizing the crucial role these organizations play in our global community. This year’s theme, "Cooperatives Building a Better Future for All," highlights how cooperatives are essential in creating inclusive economies and tackling pressing environmental issues. Cooperatives prioritize the well-being of their members and communities, focusing on sustainable practices that protect our planet. By operating on principles of shared ownership and democratic governance, cooperatives ensure that economic benefits are distributed equitably. They empower people, enhance local economies, and promote social justice. Furthermore, cooperatives are at the forefront of climate action, implementing innovative solutions to reduce carbon footprints and promote renewable energy. Their commitment to sustainable development is crucial in the fight against climate change. As we reflect on this year’s theme, let’s recognize and support the cooperative movement’s efforts in building resilient, sustainable communities and a better future for all. #CoopsDay #BetterFutureForAll #Sustainability #CommunityFirst #ClimateAction

The pressure to continually upgrade our tech produces an enormous amount of e-waste over the long term... up to 74 million tons of e-waste annually by 2030 if we stay on the same course... Something has to change! #sustainability #environmentalimpact #ewasteawareness
