What is impact?

Corporate Social Responsibility. Sustainability. ESG. Climate Action.

We’ve all seen the terms, but what do they really mean? Technically, and academically, they’re all a bit different.

But who cares?

In reality, you’ve got a business to run. Sales to make. Budgets to keep. Costs to control. People to pay. Employees to find and manage. You’ve got more things on your plate than a hungry man at a buffet!

Here’s what it boils down to.

Your business impacts on the world around you. What you do, make, produce, or sell, and the way you go about that affects the communities and environments you touch. Not only that, the world around you impacts on your business.

Understanding this better, and getting involved in the outcomes, is impact.

Impact outcomes can mean less waste, less cost, better profitability, better recruitment outcomes, better employees, better customers, better relationships, better suppliers, better reputation, better innovation, better products, better profits.

Better business.
