B1-AKT Impact report 2015–2020
B1-AKT is an organisation with a proud history and pioneering spirit. We have remained true to our core purpose, while continually extending our reach, influence, and impact.
For more than five years, B1-AKT has worked to bring a business perspective to the achievement of social and economic objectives. From relatively modest beginnings, we have steadily grown our impact across France and internationally.
We are implementing Sustainable Strategies, Paragon Communication Solutions and Innovative Labs. We work with companies, institutions and political parties to develop strategic responses as to maximize their impact through sustainable solutions & ecosystems.
Simply put, with us, innovation is finding and applying new approaches to address existing problems or serve unmet needs. From a development perspective, we provide innovations as new solutions with the transformative ability to accelerate positive impact.
“We are inspiring leaders working to create transformational change.
Our work is diverse. Our approach transnational. Our goals are unique.
But we stand united in our purpose: build a brighter and sustainable future”.
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make”. Jane Goodall.
Welcome to the Impact Report for B1-AKT. This report brings together and describes the many positive changes that we bring about for the people, enterprises, and communities that we touched in France and overseas.
In recent years we have diversified our activities and our services. We are aware of the economic and social impact but recognize the need to systematically gather and share this evidence with others.
Against a backdrop of continuing economic turbulence and public sector austerity, we were therefore able to bring forward a range of programmes that were designed to achieve significant economic and social impact. This report takes stock of our work and its impacts during 2014 until today. It describes the ways that we brought about change and uses relevant evidence to illustrate our main achievements.
In a rapidly-changing environment, the key to our success has been our ability to balance continuity with change. It has required discipline and decisive actions to build sustainable value for the long term. We continue on our journey, while we stay true to our purpose and values. We change by adapting our portfolio to meet evolving consumer demands, pushing the boundaries of science, accelerating innovation, as well as driving greater agility and efficiencies.
Our Impact report reflects our aspirations and marks our progress as a company in the areas where we can make the biggest impact:
Leading in sustainability,
Strengthening communities,
Creating opportunities.
Tackle social challenges on a global scale
At B1-AKT-Leading Sustainable Strategies & Paragon Communication we believe that “risk brings change and opportunity and that risk-taking is an indispensable part of leadership”. We are making a difference by the courage to chart new paths, the only way forward.
Our Leaders are part of visionary leaders that paint a clear compelling picture of what is possible. They see into the future and strive to take others there; creativity and Innovation are the lifeblood of our company.
B1-AKT creates impact in many ways. We support national outcomes which aim to make France a better place to live and a more prosperous and successful country.
B1-AKT enables a network of global shapers, driving dialogue, action and implementing change.
We bring together diverse stakeholders that represent diverse communities, (civil society), academic institutions, private and state institutions, entrepreneurs and investors who are co-creating an enabling environment to develop tangible and sustainable solutions, responding to multidimensional challenges, helping in effect to build more inclusive communities.
We generate and amplify our local impacts to contribute towards the French Government’s National Outcome.
