▶ How do I get an invite to attend the Summit ?

This summit is by invitation only to ensure we bring together the most committed and innovative leaders and create a strong and impactful global community of leaders. However if you are one such leader in a C-suite position and your business is positively impacting society and/or the planet or wanting to have a major positive impact in society and/or the planet, you are most welcome to request your invitation here. Our team will analyze it and get in contact with you as soon as possible.

We also have created a World Leaders Program to ensure a wider participation from the Global South (see here).

▶ How and where to book a hotel?

The standing dinners of Thursday and Friday evening are only relevant to event participants, not to partners. However, if you really wish your partner to attend we might be able to arrange a few seats but contact us in the weeks prior via welcome@bforgoodleaders.org.

▶ How to get to the Summit from the airport?

We encourage a diversity of sustainable ways in which to reach Amsterdam, listed in our logistics page here. If you land at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, there are direct trains that take you to Amsterdam Centraal (Central Station, Amsterdam) in about 20 minutes. The station is 5 minutes walk from the event’s location.

▶ What are the entrance fees?

Entrance fees are based on the turnover of your company. A special discount is offered for companies that are B Corps. 

 

Our partners/sponsors receive a discounted price for their teams. If you wish to become a Summit Partner / Sponsor feel free to write to veronica@bforgoodleaders.org .

▶ Can I apply for a discount?

To ensure as wide a participation as possible, including from the Global South, we have created a World Leaders Program and you can check whether you meet the eligibility criteria (see here). 

▶ Do I need to print my ticket before I arrive?

To be as sustainable as possible we would encourage you to bring with you the QR Code ticket on your phone, rather than printing it. 

At the registrations desk this QR code will allow you to receive the Summit badge that needs to be used to access all sessions and meals.

▶ Is the event accessible for people with reduced mobility?

Yes, the entire event is accessible for people with reduced mobility. Staff at the entrance of the summit will be able to guide you to the dedicated accesses.

For any question contact us at welcome@bforgoodleaders.org

▶ Can I change the information on my ticket?

After you have finalized your registration and your payment has been accepted, it is not possible to change the name on the ticket. However, if there is an error in your name or information, you can contact us to correct it at the following address: welcome@bforgoodleaders.org

▶ Why do I have to pay if the event is invitation-only?

The invitation-only policy is meant to only allow the leaders who are truly making a difference and committed to building a new economy to be part of the Summit and thus ensure the best possible outcomes as a participant.

During the first Summit we held in Rome we successfully sold out the event by only having paying selected participants, resulting in a now one year old powerful platform for ‘business as a force for good’. 

As you will understand it is only possible to organise this one-of-a-kind Summit (as a non profit organisation), if attendees contribute a conference fee.

B FOR GOOD LEADERS DECLARATION

Our present economic system is flawed. It is guided by a short-term vision that only takes the interests of a limited number of stakeholders into account and is deaf to the call of future generations.

The annual B for Good Leaders Summit exists to accelerate the transition towards a regenerative economy creating the conditions for a shared, durable prosperity. This will create social, environmental, and economic net positive value through a new model of regenerative leadership.

As inhabitants of planet Earth, we take up this intergenerational call which demands to reframe the very meaning of leadership.

To enable this evolution, as B For Good Leaders, we commit to:

1. embrace radical interdependence, the fundamental principle governing life on Earth, as the golden rule for decision-making, leading to a regenerative impact;

2. consider at least the next generation of humans in every business decision;

3. measure what matters to integrate systemic value creation into our definition of profit;

4. challenge extractive economic models and take a stand for the common good;

5. mobilize finance as a catalyst to transform the business perspective from short-termism to long-term shared value creation.

We commit to guiding our companies and organizations to embrace a purpose-driven model that creates value for all.

Through this joint leadership statement, we lay the foundation for collective actions and alliances, clearing the path for a new regenerative economy.
