Beyond Compliance: Embedding Impact through Innovative Finance
Innovative finance is reshaping the corporate approach to social impact, as detailed in the Schwab Foundation’s latest report, Beyond Compliance: Embedding Impact through Innovative Finance.
The report highlights how this emerging practice already mobilizes $185 billion by linking financial rewards to measurable social outcomes. It offers businesses a pathway to address societal challenges while maintaining a competitive edge. For example, social progress credits in South Korea have directed $50 million to social innovators, demonstrating the tangible benefits of this approach. A range of other case studies showcase how companies are already exploring this approach to address critical social issues in their value chains.
Social innovation is becoming a strategic business capability, addressing both sustainability issues and business objectives.
