Impact Sourcing

Impact Sourcing enables businesses to successfully implement the ethos of conscious capitalism at scale. It is a business model that enables business to simultaneously thrive and create a real impact on individuals, communities and economics. This creates a value-driven business ecosystem that priorities contemporary business values such as Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) and Environment, Sustainability & Governance (ESG).
