What is Social Impact?

A significant, positive change that addresses a pressing social challenge.

"The concept that organizations can approach social and environmental challenges as business opportunities. That is, by addressing social and environmental considerations, a company may not only minimize any negative social and environmental impacts of its business operations (along with associated costs and risks), but may also realize new sources of competitive advantage such as creating new product or supply chain innovations."
