“CEOs must support the global economy by focusing on progress, people, and the planet,” Schulman said. “Profit and purpose are not at odds with each other inside a business. In fact, I would argue that the two go hand in hand. The pandemic brought these issues and trends to our attention that have been with us for quite some time. I’m excited to explore these ideas with other leaders in the impact investing space at this year’s Sorenson Impact Summit.”
