About Net Impact
Founded in 1993, Net Impact is a dynamic network of over 20,000 members in over 280 chapters across
the world, 180 of which are MBA chapters.
“When Net Impact first got started, words like “corporate responsibility” and “sustainability” weren’t things you heard every day at work.
Today, we’ve helped make it top of mind for many — and now, it’s time to make working for good not just something people want, but something they actually do.” Liz Maw Executive Director, Net Impact
