The Impact Spender's Manifesto: "We believe that spending is the most powerful force for change in the world. We know that every dollar we spend, changes the world… for better or for worse. We spend our time and our money consciously and with good intent. We see the people behind the stuff. We see stakeholders as interdependent, not independent. We use our creativity to find solutions that benefit all stakeholders. We do not trade off one stakeholder’s interests against another’s. We understand that savings are scarce but impact is abundant. When we spend for impact we simply get more bang for our buck. We listen to our suppliers and our providers with curiosity and appreciation. We accept that the customer is not always right. We work in people chains, not supply chains. We acknowledge that through our spending our actions and behaviours are magnified and far-reaching. We cultivate diversity. We value differences. We like doing business with unlike-minded people. Bigger is not always better and smaller is sometimes smarter. We measure value not just in having, but in giving. We buy more than just goods and services… we are buying a better world with a brighter future." Still reading? I'd love to hear from you so please connect and tell me why. [email protected]
