Social Impact is both an organizational objective and a measurable outcome. Social Impact organizations operate responsibly day-to-day and pursue long-term goals to solve society's most pressing challenges.
Examples of Social Impact organizations include innovative nonprofits, social enterprises and socially responsible businesses. Social Impact Organizations:
Create products and services that positively impact people and planet.
Strive for operational standards that value people and their work.
Recognize a responsibility to the community and environment in which they operate.
Measure and share their impact with all stakeholders.
Believe in the power of collaboration for mutually beneficial social impact outcomes.
