Last week, 𝗔𝗺𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗦𝗥 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 and 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 hosted Ingrid Vanderveldt, M. Arch, MBA for a special discussion with members in Almaty.

An entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Empowering a Billion Women Worldwide (EBW), Ingrid shared insights from her international experience, including her work with Dell Technologies, where she helped launch global entrepreneurship initiatives and support high-growth businesses.

The conversation explored the distinction between CSR and ESG, how companies can build meaningful long-term impact strategies, and practical approaches to measuring the success of CSR projects. Members also had the opportunity to ask questions and exchange views on trends in community engagement and responsible business leadership.

We thank Ingrid for her time, openness, and genuine passion for Kazakhstan.

Special thanks to the U.S. Mission Kazakhstan for helping bring leading international experts to Kazakhstan and creating valuable opportunities for AmCham members to engage directly with them.

We also thank Global Development for generously hosting the event.
