These four corporate social impact archetypes are laid out below.

Each archetype has its own strategic focus, its own positioning to succeed in using social impact to achieve its business goals, and areas to navigate with caution and intention.
Four corporate social impact archetypes:

1. Shareholder maximizer: Primary motivation is short-term shareholder value. Not many resources are applied to social impact. Strategy emphasizes risk mitigation.

2. Corporate contributor: Social impact is driven by external factors and focused on key stakeholder relationships; strategy is siloed within the firm.

3. Impact integrator: Social impact is integrated within firm strategy, across business units, and is used as input to explore new market opportunities. Possesses positive customer perception.

4. Social innovator: Social impact is integral to strategy, embedded in processes and across business units. Business creates socially conscious goods/services and markets. Social mission perceived as authentic.

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way.

I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

To counter misconceptions around the true work behind #DEI, I find this graphic from RPC LLC helpful in showing how it encourages best practices within an organization to not only support its employees, but also create fair & inclusive economic impact for communities & other business stakeholders.
Graphic that shows DEI work encompasses best practices such as recruiting and retaining underrepresented talent, preparing companies for changing demographics and disruptive trends, surveying employees, naming micro aggressions & white supremacy culture, building supplier diversity programs, building employee resource groups (ERGs), equipping C-Suite with inclusive leadership skills, managing fatigue, overwhelm, cynicism & shame, transforming systems, policies & practices, and skills training & coaching.
