Net Impact is a nonprofit membership organization for students and professionals interested in using business skills in support of various social and environmental causes.
Additionally, various Net Impact Case Competitions are hosted annually throughout its university chapters[2] to encourage teams to analyze and propose more sustainable business practices.
While the bulk of Net Impact’s activity has been focused in the United States, international chapters began as early as 1997 at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France.
Between 2004 and 2008, under the leadership of Executive Director Liz Maw, the organization increased its paid membership nearly fivefold, in keeping with a growth trend that has been identified among MBAs and society at large toward interest in responsible business practices.
Conferences[7] are well attended and feature ground-breaking entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and nonprofit visionaries transforming the world in inspiring ways.
