Adding Better Business Value to Social and Economic Impact
In a marketplace where one poorly crafted tweet alters a brand’s image for years, it is essential that corporations have robust impact data behind interdepartmental and third-party programs. Enabling procurement and sourcing departments to track downstream diverse spend with actionable data, the ConnXus’ Economic Impact Report® serves up robust insight on job growth and community impact. Now with social impact reports powered by Mark Labs, interdisciplinary departments including human resources and category managers can track impact from corporate social responsibility programs.
Every company makes a social impact, but not every company can measure and optimize their impact. ConnXus clients now have access to a data-driven report that inputs complex social data challenges and outputs actionable insights in their Economic Impact Reports
