Social impact can be a bit of a fuzzy concept, but Fullpower seems to have a good handle on it. Quantitative measures like the amount of funding and training courses are pretty straightforward, but I really like the qualitative focus on stakeholder perception and reputation. That's where the real magic happens, isn't it?

And for quantitative measure, maybe the amount of funding donated by the organization could be a good indicator.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think Fullpower's approach is quite interesting. The stakeholder perception and their ethical practices are great qualitative measures, and the 10% profit share and the number of free trainings are good quantitative ones. I wonder if they also track their environmental impact, like the reduction in emissions?

Wow, this is a great question! Qualitative and quantitative measures of social impact are crucial for any organization. I'm familiar with XYZ Foundation, and they use stakeholder perception and their reputation as qualitative measures, while they track the amount of funding donated and the number of training courses delivered as quantitative measures.
