In this blog, I share how companies can achieve meaningful social impact without relying solely on external consulting firms. Many leaders feel they need a massive budget to bring their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments to life. But from my work with companies like Danone and the Mediterranean Shipping Company, I’ve seen that with the right framework and guidance, your team can drive transformative change from within.

This blog post highlights how many businesses are committed to supporting vulnerable suppliers or customers, however they tend to rely too heavily on assumptions or market research without truly understanding the communities' needs. Drawing from examples like diverse franchise ownership and farmer support, the author shares the right questions to ask so companies can design initiatives that align with both community needs and business goals.

Curious what work looks like over here? Let me share a bit of the “behind the scenes” of what’s been going on here at Social Impact Compass.

I want to share with you a few recent reflections I had recently about the impact space.
