Impact for Change is a programme designed by Corporate Citizenship to help companies measure, improve and communicate their impacts. As part of the programme Corporate Citizenship will be publishing a selection of research papers and reports, in addition to hosting a series of webinars, seminars and receptions which focus on the topic of impact.
In this short film, Corporate Citizenship explores how the relationships between business and society are becoming more complex, and as businesses are being asked tougher questions about their impacts, the importance of mapping, measuring and taking action on impacts across the value chain is now paramount. Diageo and Civicus share insights on how organisations can use a better understanding of their economic, social and environmental impacts to focus their efforts and drive change where it matters most.

What do we mean by Impact?
Impacts refers to the economic, social and environmental changes that business creates. From creating jobs and investing in local communities through to innovating new products and measuring a return for the business, we believe that the companies that will succeed in the long-run will be those that calculate and improve their impacts.
Corporate Citizenship has been working with companies to enhance their impacts since 1997. Twenty years ago, we founded LBG, now the global standard for measuring corporate community investment. Today, we are working with clients across the globe to map their impacts and create engaging strategies that grow the positives, minimise the negatives, and create a more sustainable future where business can thrive.
