2021 has just begun, and wherever we look it has come with renewed inspiration, dedication, hope and commitment to jointly build a more just, sustainable, and resilient world.
As we are starting the year, we ourselves are also ready to enter it with many new commitments and strategic ambitions. Truth is, some of these initiatives are still in the (final) making – but so much can be said: we will invite you to grow with us, and to join in as we are increasing our commitment to climate, build more ecosystems on issues that matter and deepen our impact as a community.
We are set to support more start-ups and innovations than ever before, eager to engage many new creative minds, and ready to celebrate a decade of impact at this year’s Impact Days at the Hofburg.
As said, we are excited. We are excited for “Man does not simply exist, but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment.” (Victor E. Frankl)
HONOURING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTWhile every individual’s effort is an important step in the right direction, this society and planet have reached a precipice. And it’s time for change to happen on a larger scale.To support and bring recognition to inspiring examples, Mercer and Institutional Money have initiated the Money 4 Change – Impact Awards, which will be presented in four categories: asset owner, corporates, entrepreneurs and collaboration. |

ROOTING THE IMPACT HUB FORESTTerra is our nurturing home. It’s our duty to keep it alive. As a symbol of Impact Hub’s commitment for a climate neutral future, we sow the first seed of The Impact Hub Forest. The one hundred trees we have chosen to plant can absorb, in the first year, enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to fill up 77,538 basketballs! You can also plant a tree in the Impact Hub Forest! Wouldn’t it be fantastic to grow ten times by the end of the year? |
