The Social Impact World Forum brings together a curated group of corporate impact practitioners for candid conversations, practical insights, and the relationships that help move the work forward inside corporate environments.

How are people structuring the case for impact investment when finance keeps asking for ROI in purely financial terms? Looking for how others are framing this internally.

Has anyone successfully moved their impact function from cost-center to shared value model? Would love to hear what that transition actually looked like in practice.

How are practitioners protecting their budgets when leadership pushes back?
★SIW+ answer
Programs that sit outside core workflows are easy to cut. The antidote is tying your work directly to what the business cannot remove.
"Those are the functions that become much harder to remove because the business will feel the absence immediately."
