Traditional funding models are falling short in addressing today’s social and environmental challenges. This new report by the Schwab Foundation, in collaboration with SK Group and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, introduces a bold alternative: tradeable impact. By transforming verified social outcomes—such as improved education, health, or caregiving—into economic value, tradeable impact creates new financial incentives for social enterprises, businesses, investors and governments.
The world is ready to transition towards a stakeholder economy, a system designed to create equitable benefits for people and the planet. However, many companies and governments are struggling with this transformation. We provide a platform to recognise, promote and advance proven social innovation solutions and accelerate the world’s transition to the more inclusive and sustainable economy. We are driven by their vision of the world that puts people and planet first.
In partnership with the World Economic Forum, we're accelerating the world's transition to a stakeholder economy.
Since its inception in 1998, the Schwab Foundation has amplified entrepreneurs and innovators reimagining social and economic systems to be more inclusive of people and more sustainable for the planet. Their models put purpose before profit and have proven to be effective and economically viable where market or development approaches have failed.
Employ innovative, market-based approaches to directly address social issues.
Leaders within multinational or regional companies who drive the development of new products, services, initiatives, or business models that address societal and environmental challenges.
Leaders in the public sector in government or in international organisations who harness the power of social innovation to create public good through policy, regulation, or public initiatives.
