Business Impact Speaker Series
Examines how businesses create and measure social, environmental and economic impact, testing claims against evidence and affected-community perspectives.
What could this idea change?
Local organisations improve impact literacy and communities can distinguish meaningful practice from unverified impact marketing.

What should we look for?
- Claims accompanied by method and evidence.
Before we say yes
- Does it fit a real local need?

- Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
- Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
