JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 23, 2016 (Antara/Medianet International-AsiaNet) --
Public and Private sector collaboration: creating shared value for social impact and financial return
Palladium is pleased to have launched the second of our Positive Impact events in Jakarta last week at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. This was the second in a series of regional workshops exploring the importance of the Impact Economy: specifically, how private sector organisations can do good socially and do well financially at the same time, building powerful coalitions that address complex societal issues.
A broad cross section of Indonesian business leaders from the private and public sector, NGO's, Associations and Government came together to attend this sold out event and discuss critical issues affecting Indonesian society. Education, health, agriculture and poverty were at the top of the list with speakers and panel members highlighting how a 'Shared Value' business model can create exciting market opportunities which satisfy business objectives while simultaneously addressing serious challenges facing society.
All attendees of this session were left with little doubt that tremendous opportunities - and challenges - arise when businesses transform the value chain to put positive social impact at the forefront of corporate strategy. The Panel represented a selection of Indonesia's leading business men and experts including;
- Dr. Agr. Wayah S. Wiroto, President, Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (YCAB Foundation), Market Development Director, GE GGO Indonesia
- Budi Santosa, Executive Director, Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD)
- Yono Reksoprodjo, Executive Committee, Sintesa Group
- Shahnewaz Karim, PMP & Head of Portfolio, PRISMA
- Marcus Pitt, Director, Strategy Execution, Palladium
- Oliver Mathieson, Country Director, Palladium
Joan Cabezas, Palladium's Asia-Pacific Region Director for Strategy Execution, acknowledged the importance of discussing Shared Value in the Indonesia context:
"It is exciting to learn about the number of Shared Value initiatives already in place in Indonesia coming from various industries. The challenge now is how to bring these initiatives to scale, engage partners and identify the skills needed to move these initiatives forward, define and measure success and establish best practice and deliver the expected impact to all stakeholders."
Our third event in the 'Positive Impact' series will be held in Canberra next month on 16th March.
