Social Impact Statement
A Social Impact Statement is a formal report that outlines the effects of an organization’s activities on society, including environmental, social, and economic impacts. These statements are typically produced by companies, nonprofits, or governments to demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility. The document often details how the organization contributes to positive societal change, mitigates negative impacts, and aligns with broader social goals, such as sustainability or community development.
Example
A corporation releases a Social Impact Statement that highlights its initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, improve labor practices, and contribute to local education programs.
