What is Social Innovation?
Choosing to be a positive influence in people's lives
WHAT IT IS
Social innovation is intentional. It's about leading with a purpose that benefits society.
Social innovation helps you establish trust, differentiate your position in the market, invigorate corporate stakeholders and employees, and create meaningful societal impact.
Companies with a clearly defined purpose, such as sustainability or social justice, tell people you care about something beyond selling a product or service.
Your brand is more powerful when people can engage with you on a deeper, more meaningful level.
What can you accomplish together with the people who interact with your brand?
