Panel Q&A 11.45am – 1pm
Measuring and managing social impact goals Room 1.05
Increasingly, organisations from all sectors are seeking to develop and implement social impact goals which positively impact on their stakeholders. Yet, while the momentum grows, standards of social impact remain less developed than those for environmental sustainability goals – making navigating social impact topics challenging. What counts as social impact? How do we measure this in a rigorous way to inform decision making and prove to stakeholders the benefits? In this panel, we will hear from a range of experts who are actively addressing these questions in their work and research.
