Electra Business After Five - The Impact of Investment with Lousie Aitken

Please come and join us (in person!) for nibbles and drinks on May 25, to learn more about the choices you can make to better your business, organisation or community.

Impact economy is a concept that's risen in popularity recently - but what is it and how is it relevant for Horowhenua?  

Come and discuss how creating positive change for societies and for the environment really matters for consumers, investors, employees & government agencies and how all businesses can start thinking about how they can contribute.

The economy and the way we do business has changed significantly in the last 12 months and we're faced with two choices when moving forwards; to pick up where we left off and try to navigate the new-normal, or, to make the decision to do things differently.

Creating an impact economy comes from doing things differently, and focusing on creating genuine positive impact with every choice we make. Impact that improves outcomes for your business and customers, while creating a space for the people of Horowhenua, and our economy, to thrive.
