The scale of challenges our global society faces require the attention and action of all parts of the economy. For the corporate sector, the traditional tenets of shareholder capitalization are expanding to stakeholder capitalism. Corporations are adopting social innovation and stakeholder engagement approaches to drive positive change through their work. At the same time, standards for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management and reporting are developing. CASE is working to translate the best practices in social impact management that have evolved over decades to the multi-sector efforts in the global economy. Find some highlights from CASE’s work related to corporate impact below, and search our knowledge database for more insights.
