Research has shown that companies which recognise the importance of profit, planet and people can maintain a profitable, growing business while also making a social impact.
In June, representatives from Greater Manchester’s business community took a very Mancunian message to London as part of the Geatahead festival. Hosted at the Omeara live music venue near London Bridge, Getahead is a fast-growing not-for-profit mental health event with a 25-year plan to positively impact a billion people.
