Social Impact 101: Incorporating Social Impact into Your Business Model
Learn how to integrate social impact into your business model and why it's important.
About this workshop:
What’s your impact, and how do you know?
In today’s world, businesses and organizations are increasingly expected to do more than just turn a profit - they’re expected to create real, measurable social and environmental value. But how do you track that impact? And why does it matter?
In this foundational workshop, Social Impact 101: Incorporating Social Impact into Your Business Model, you’ll explore the benefits of measuring your social impact and learn how it can help guide decision-making, build trust, and strengthen your mission.
We’ll dive into several practical tools and frameworks used globally, including:
- B Corp certification
- Social Return on Investment (SROI)
- Theory of Change
You’ll also gain insights into how to integrate social impact into your business model, and examine hybrid business structures (like social enterprises, co-ops, and nonprofits with earned revenue streams). Through local and international case studies, we’ll explore what works in balancing profit with purpose.
Whether you're just beginning your impact journey or looking to deepen your current efforts, this session will give you the clarity and tools to move forward with confidence.
