Rapid advances in technology are transforming our world and creating new avenues to lift up vulnerable populations. Yet, as digital economies grow, too many people are being left behind. Increasingly, consumers and employees expect brands to embrace sustainable and purpose-driven corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs while offering solutions that advance equity and economic mobility. Can companies create positive social impact while growing the bottom line? And can the private sector really solve inequality? Mastercard’s Parag Mehta and Netspend’s Vera Hinojosa will share their insights on how companies—big and small—can tap into their unique expertise, resources and technology to tackle global and regional issues while staying true to their brand, customers and employees.
