Hey, I amAgnes Günther
Strategist, Designer, Researcher
I believe that businesses should have a positive impact on society and make the world a better place. It’s not enough to have a carbon-neutral footprint. More so, I believe that having a positive impact on society improves economic performance in the long term.
Driven by this belief, I left my research position at a top US business school to start my own business: NetSocietal™.
What started as a theory turned into a company mission: The mission to help businesses create a positive, measurable, and noticeable impact on society – as I call it: be netsocietal.
I am a founder, partner, consultant.
Most of all: I am curious. I am not afraid to challenge what’s taken for granted. I dare to reinvent myself and take risks to create what really matters: a net-positive impact.
The principles behind Netsocietal™
Since the beginning of Netsocietal™, we have worked with four key principles in mind.
- Solutions should be market-creating. Policies and regulations cannot be the only instruments for businesses to do good.
- We need to apply system thinking and see the big picture to make it work. Thinking in silos won’t bring us much further.
- Great ambitions require a vision that is ethical and sustainable in the long term. We dare to try to realize it.
- While visionary, everything we do is science-based, backed up with data and facts. We know the odds.
