social Impact is how organizations, businesses or individuals’ actions affect the surrounding community
Impact results from an activity, project, program or policy. It can be negative or positive, intentional or unintentional. Social impact can be felt by people with direct association, or have a far-reaching impact on people in different communities far away. Social impact can be beyond people, it affects the ecosystem, environment and the planet too.
doing good is one thing, but creating social impact is another
They are not the same
SOCIAL GOOD VS SOCIAL IMPACT
many individuals and organizations are doing good things for the community and the planet
They like to use the word “social impact” in their communications, all portrayed positively. That is social good. It is not social impact.
SOCIAL GOOD VS SOCIAL IMPACT
Social impact must have both positive and negative sides
There is no truly positive action without leaving gaps in this world. The practise of social impact lies heavily on assessments, where people evaluate their actions in the most objective and honest manner.
SOCIAL GOOD VS SOCIAL IMPACT
Both positive and negative sides are important to highlight
This is important, for the purpose of identifying change, finding out what went wrong and innovating for the better.
