Simultaneously, the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer highlights an unprecedented level of distrust in government, NGOs, media, and, of course, business. In response to macro trends, impact entrepreneurship has emerged as a powerful force for addressing some of the world's most urgent challenges.

Goal of the Month | March 2025: Gender Equality
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.
Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. But gender inequality persists everywhere and stagnates social progress.
On average, women in the labor market still earn 23 percent less than men globally and women spend about three times as many hours in unpaid domestic and care work as men.
Learn more about this crucial goal, and how you can get involved.
