An Introduction to Social Value and SDG Impact Standard: How to Enable SDG in Your Impact Management and Reporting

What is the difference between Social Value and ESG? How do they link together and differ from each other?

Impact Link is proud to host this webinar in partnership with Social Value Malaysia, featuring esteemed speakers Dr. Jane Chang and Dr. Ainurul Rosli, co-founders of Social Value Malaysia. The session is hosted by Thao Lam, CEO of ImpactLink.

This webinar is part of our monthly series on Social Value. Below are key takeaways from this webinar:

1. 1. The SDGs concentrate on how corporations influence the environment and society, whereas SV focuses on the societal impacts made by the companies in collaboration with its stakeholders.
   2. Putting in effort does not equate to producing positive impacts. Most indicators look at outputs and not necessarily outcomes. SV principles and SROI framework will help push companies beyond a “pat on the back.” 
   3. SV helps with providing a baseline for discussions and decision-making. It builds credibility and trust because it gives meaning to the numbers.
   4. SV framework can help make a business more compassionate, not only NGOs or NPOs but all businesses can be social impact businesses. 

We believe everyone left with actionable knowledge to enhance their organizational impact.

Stay tuned for more sessions in the upcoming months!
