Sage Foundation

The Sage Impact Entrepreneurship Programme is all about backing bold founders like Noel F. Myers of Sunereum Labs, people using business as a force for good. 🚀 At our recent Summit, Derk Bleeker caught up with Noel to discuss how the programme is helping him grow his business and scale his impact. 🤝 We’re proud to be part of his journey and to support a new generation of entrepreneurs building a more sustainable future. 💚

A decade of impact with Sage Foundation! 🥳 Since our start in 2015, the goal has been clear. We want to break down barriers, transform our local communities, support entrepreneurs and educate the younger generation. 🎯 In the last 10 years, we've raised over $5 million, supported over 1 million volunteer hours and made a global impact. 🌍 None of this would have been possible without the support of our amazing Sage colleagues, non-profit partners, and the thousands of programme participants. Thank you to everyone who makes Sage Foundation what it is. We can't wait for what's to come in the next 10 years. 💚 As #SageFoundationTurns10, celebrate by watching our film 👉 http://1sa.ge/8V7b50WjwFl Learn more about our creation, impact and future 👉 http://1sa.ge/62kH50Wjyai
