What is Net Impact?
We are here to provide the network and resources to inspire emerging leaders to build successful "impact careers" – either by working in jobs dedicated to change or by bringing a social and environmental lens to traditional business roles

Working in sustainability...
- Working in sustainability can be difficult! From climate change to peak oil, the challenges we face can seem overwhelming. How can we avoid burnout?
- We have found one answer is to surround yourself with positive people who are doing inspiring things!
- The Net Impact Bristol professional chapter is here to provide a like-minded community and networking events to help drive positive change on the job

Does Bristol need another network?
- Many green professional networks are based on the company not the individual
- Many events take place during working hours so can be hard to get approval for time out of office
- Other more informal events are excellent for those in the know but can feel ‘cliquey’ for newcomers
- We feel there is a need for something to ‘join the dots’, and are interested to hear from you so we can feed your ideas in and shape it accordingly!
