Join us on 13 February 2024, 17-18.30 CET at U4P Talks with Mandar Apte, formerly a manager of Shell's GameChanger program and now a visionary social entrepreneur dedicated to peace. Drawing from his extensive work with the nonprofit peace consultancy Cities4Peace, Mandar will demonstrate how peace can become a viable business offering. He showcases how businesses can transcend traditional CSR models to create shared value – enriching both their bottom line and societal well-being. With insights gleaned from collaborations with the UN and diverse global stakeholders, Mandar illuminates the path towards catalyzing a movement of businesses committed to fostering peace worldwide.

U4P talks series explores the groundbreaking work of "visionary practitioners", social entrepreneurs and new paradigm makers that set the foundation for just, peaceful, regenerative, and flourishing futures. We invite people who, in the words of ancient Chinese tradition, "connect Heaven and Earth" by creating viable business and organizational models that help restore nature, promote peace, enhance deep democracy and citizen empowerment, and support universal wellbeing.

The talk will provide opportunities for Q&A with the audience.
