On June 25th, the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI) organised a FSACCI Coffee Table at their offices in Johannesburg, on “Shared Value and Social Performance Management”.
Richard O. Wilson (CEO of Inclusion [Social Ratings]) introduced the participants to Shared Value and how companies’ social impact is not only a cost for them but also a benefit.
The Coffee Table, which is a regular bi-monthly event at the FSACCI, was led by Bezant Chongo (Financial Inclusion Expert at Positive Planet International).
The FSACCI commented that, “Corporates, MFI’s and NGO’s can really benefit from the expertise offered by Inclusion [Social Ratings] and enhance the way they do business that is both financially and socially beneficial.”
