Creating a competitive advantage: In today’s crowded marketplace, having a strong social impact can help your business stand out from competitors and attract customers who are looking for more than just the lowest price.

Why I Created the Academy For You
I’m Deb Alcadinho, the founder of Business 4 Social Good and the creator of the Social Good Academy. After decades of owning businesses, working for companies and non-profits, being employed by government, and always having a philanthropic heart I realized i wanted to give in a more fulsome aligned way. I knew I wanted to have more of an impact on the issue of helping to end violence against women.
It also became apparent to me that other businesswomen, like me, are searching to make an impact on issues they care about but lacked the framework of how to fully integrate social good and do more than simply write a cheque.
Recognizing a gap in the marketplace of a social impact training company for small and medium sized businesses, I researched social good best practices and put a framework together, utilizing my 40 years in the for-profit and non-profit sectors.
Today I bring the Social Good Academy to business owners just like you – who want to have a purposeful company, make an impact on community or world issues important to you, while inspiring your workforce and customers alike!
I look forward to seeing you inside the Academy! ~ Deb xo
