Impact Heroes are visionary leaders driven by an insatiable desire to impact their communities. They are role models for future generations and have an intrinsic potential to inspire the rest of the world.
Their work seeks paradigm shifts, innovative, inclusive pathways that leave no one behind, and the creation of a regenerative, sustainable future.
