3. Welcome to Net Impact
Net Impact is a new generation of leaders who
use our careers to tackle the world‟s toughest
problems.
By doing so, we show the world it‟s possible to
make a net impact that benefits not just the bottom
line – but people and planet, too.

4. The Opportunity
Together, we spend about half our waking hours at work each
year.
• That‟s more than 250 billion collective hours.
• Yet volunteering accounts for only 3 billion hours.
What if we could spend more of our working hours creating
social and environmental change, instead of squeezing our
impact into nights and weekends?

5. “The people changing the world
can be found in every industry, in
every company, in every function.
Net Impact brings these people
together, helping them integrate
these values into their work.”
- Liz Abbett, Lifetime Member
Program Manager, Value Chain Compliance
and Social Responsibility | Cisco Systems
