We are delighted to welcome the CEO of a truly inspirational organisation, Operation Eyesight, as part of gunnercooke’s Conscious Capitalism series.
Aly Bandali leads this international development
organisation which works to eliminate avoidable blindness with the help of
donations and support from foundations, corporations and governments. Based in
Canada, they have brought sight-restoration and blindness-prevention treatment
to millions of people since their foundation in 1963. The organisation has
shifted its course to become an impact-driven organisation that meaningfully
contributes to the UN’s Agenda 2030. In 2017, Operation Eyesight was recognised
as a leader doing exceptional work to integrate and advance action towards the
achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by Global Compact
Network Canada.
gunnercooke’s Conscious Capitalism series aims to create an
ongoing debate around the role of business leaders in taking industries forward
whilst taking an ethical, values-led approach.
Explaining his motivation for the Conscious Capitalism
series, co-founder of gunnercooke, Darryl Cooke, said: “‘Quite rightly
there is much debate about the role of businesses and their leaders in putting
their people and their communities before profit and frankly just doing
the right thing. The Conscious Capitalism series sponsored by gunnercooke takes
that debate to a different level with an agenda comprising some of the World’s
leading thinkers”.
Please join us in the debate on 21 November at 5.30 in The Dome Room at 1 Cornhill, London.
