Leaders from across sectors will explore how the pro bono ecosystem can support the social good organizations and small businesses who will be a vital part in rebuilding our communities in the wake of our current crisis.

This Friday will mark day two of the Porter Novelli Purpose Summit: Committing to Action Amid COVID‐19. Conversations will highlight strategies employed by brands like Prudential and ADCOLOR and We Mean Business, among others; employee-first leadership tips; and examples of how global markets are responding to the pandemic with Purpose-driven solutions to support business, society and those most in need.

The Stand for Small coalition will provide millions of U.S. small businesses access to support through valuable services, offers, tools and expertise, among other benefits.
