The journey to purposeful social impact reporting

 

Increasingly all organisations are recognising the value of social impact reporting

What was once a fundamental practice of only non-profits and charities has become increasingly critical to all types of organisations. Across industries, companies such as Nike, Tesla or Thomson Reuter are asking themselves and being asked by their key stakeholders to reflect on their role and impact on society.

 

A social impact report is a powerful tool to build confidence and trust with your stakeholders

 

At its core, an impact report is an honest reflection of an organisation's impact, including areas for improvement or challenges being faced and action taken to tackle these. It is more than a communication exercise. It should be seen as a fundamental element of any ESG and/or CSR strategy. It is an opportunity for organisations to engage with key stakeholders about their purpose, the social impact of their products and services and the way they operate.

 
 

How to report

There are multiple ways to tell the story of your impact and address the key questions that your stakeholders have.
