How Emerging Brands Are Changing Social Impact Partnerships

A new generation of companies entering the marketplace are taking a different approach to CSR than their more established counterparts. The rise of these companies built with both social purpose in mind and a willingness to challenge conventional CSR wisdom and the status quo has the potential to upend the social impact landscape.

Navigating the Changing Landscape of Social Impact

Emerging brands often have more progressive business strategies and a socially conscious millennial workforce and consumer base. They also seek to engage in social purpose strategies and nonprofit partnerships that differ from those of traditional corporations and often-taught best practices.

In today’s episode, EFG’s Alli Murphy is joined by Meagan Dorsch, Head of Social Impact for Visible and Rich Maiore, President of Rocket Social Impact, one of EFG’s sponsors. The trio explores how these new entrants—those who have risen in profile over the past few years—are shaking up the social impact space and what it means for both nonprofits and established companies.
