Certificate of attendance available
The concept of social capital is widely acknowledged as important, yet has been slow to gain traction in practice. This session introduces social accounting as a strategy to make social capital more visible, appreciated, and actionable to leaders, policymakers, ESG investors, and managers. Examples from firms around the world will show how tools such as Integrated Reporting encourage the intentional, systematic development of social capital for organizational success. Participants will also learn integrated thinking as key to developing and implementing social capital strategically across multiple scales to advance the SDGs, as well as systems thinking and complexity science to create business models rooted in reciprocity rather than value extraction. The session concludes with a future research agenda and resources to put these ideas into practice.
