What’s our “why,” and how do we make a difference to the planet and its inhabitants?
You might ask, "Do investors care about social impact?" They do! Firms delivering societal value are often more profitable than companies that do not care about the Environment, Social Impact, and Governance (ESG).
On this slide, relate your tangible social impact metrics to stakeholders in education improvement, environmental conservation, health promotion, or fostering equality and good governance. Transform these measurable impacts into financial benefits for your company and stakeholders.
Think of how your impactful efforts could set the benchmark and inspire others.
In our therapy health app example, the Sustainability and Impact slide would show the number of young individuals helped daily to prevent mental illness through immediate access to therapy. This impact would lessen personal suffering and financial burdens on society by reducing unemployment, mental health treatments, and potential criminality. The positive results could garner support from all societal stakeholders.
Your Sustainability & Impact slide should address the following questions:
- How does your impact seamlessly blend with your product and services?
- Do you have a mechanism to quantify your social impact?
- How will your impact enhance your company's profitability and financial stability?
