The Social Impact Marketplace is a platform connecting socially responsible corporations and businesses with initiatives to improve food, health, and prosperity through Global Action Platform and our strategic partners.
Like Amazon Giving, and in alignment with the new definitions of corporate purpose adopted by the Business Roundtable in 2020, the Marketplace links commerce with positive social and environmental outcomes.
Over 1,300 major businesses currently participate in the Marketplace as a way to advance ESG and positive social and environmental impacts.
Individuals who become members gain access to exclusive services and discounts on food, healthcare, work, education, and other daily needs. Significantly, they also know that each purchase includes a contribution.
Member corporations and institutions use the Marketplace to help meet their annual corporate social responsibility, ESG and shared value goals, while building a stronger reputational relationship with their clients and customers. Corporate membership also provides automatic membership to employees, enhancing their benefit programs.
There is no cost for membership. No member information is shared and so remains strictly confidential. The Marketplace functions on the volume of transactions and so seeks the widest possible audience.
The model connects daily commerce with initiatives to fuel positive social impact.
