Glossary

Social Impact

Social impact refers to the positive or negative effects of an organisation's operations, projects, or policies on society, including people's well-being, health, education, and livelihoods. Social impact assessment and measurement both help to guide decision-making, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively in order to address social needs and improve lives, with a key aspect here being the relationship and collaboration between a business and its stakeholders.
