The Business for Good Sector Development Program is for social enterprises, First Nations owned businesses, B Corps and small businesses who are interested in intentionally embedding social and environmental impact into their businesses.

Our Business for Good workshop series has covered a range of small business fundamentals topics with an impact lens to help SA small businesses build key knowledge and capabilities to drive social and environmental impact through sustainable business development and growth.

Join Us for a Special End-of-Year Business for Good Celebration!

Wrap up the Business for Good workshop series with us in a relaxed and inspiring end-of-year gathering designed for social entrepreneurs and impact-driven business leaders. Whether you've attended Workshop 10 (check this out here) or are just joining us for the afternoon, this is your chance to connect with the community, exchange insights, and discuss scaling businesses for good.

Event Details

After some light refreshments and networking to start, settle in for an engaging one-hour panel featuring South Australian social entrepreneurs who are breaking new ground in scaling for impact. Our inspiring panelists include:

Nader Ibrahim – Founder & CEO, One Culture LTD
Minka Park – Founder & Managing Director, Kimchi Club
Kiara Johnson – Founder, KSJ Consulting Service
Cassie Day – Business & Entrepreneurial Consultant, and former founder of The Carer's Place

These incredible leaders will share their personal journeys, triumphs, and lessons learned as they scaled their businesses while keeping purpose at the heart of their growth. We’ll dive into the tough ethical questions, such as "Should I even aim to scale? Is growth always aligned with my mission, or could it counteract my impact?" The panel will explore practical insights into scaling sustainably and balancing financial growth with social and environmental missions.

Following the panel, we’ll wrap up with more time to connect with peers, make new contacts, and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of social impact in South Australia.
