The Global Wealth and Society programme seeks to identify the important role that the privileged have towards their respective society. In building this programme, we measure wealth, not by the amount of financial assets individuals amass but by the positive impact they create on society through sustainable projects.

Based on this philosophy of contribution and giving back to the society, we identify these individuals as “Champions of Philanthropy” through the projects that are close to their hearts and which they believe will affect their immediate society in a deep and profound manner across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
