How can we meaningfully engage with the social dimension of the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) concept? Caroline Corbett-Thompson explains the whys, hows, and whats of Wise's approach to maximising community engagement impact during an on-stage conversation with Stories For Impact CEO Jaan Aps. The discussion was recorded at the largest sustainability festival in the Baltics, Impact Day, on the 6th of October 2023.
One piece of advice (among many) that other corporations can take away: Collaborate with established NGOs, especially when targeting vulnerable individuals as beneficiaries.
Why? While businesses offer their unique skills from daily operations, NGOs bring hands-on experience with these communities. This collaboration ensures that we increase the positive impact while minimising any potential negative consequences.
