Social Impact is your secret weapon! (post)
Broken down posts
Imagine – post 1
Picture a world where your business is recognised for the positive impact you have on society, alongside the products or services you offer. Imagine your company being the brand that communities trust, investors rally behind, and employees are proud to be a part of.
Through social value, you become a pillar of the community. Your work in local projects, sustainability efforts, and charitable giving become as important as your profit margins. Customers and stakeholders are drawn to you, not just because of what you sell, but because of who you are and what you stand for.
This connection is real. It’s meaningful. It’s what will set you apart. Social value is the heart of your brand, and it’s time to tap into that power. With the Investors in Community platform, it’s never been easier to get started.

The results-driven approach – post 2
Social impact is smart business. Leading businesses are recognising that embedding social value into their operations improves brand perception, leading to tangible results. Here’s how:
- Client attraction: 70% of UK consumers prefer to buy from companies that align with their values. Being able to demonstrate your social impact is a fast track to attracting new clients.
- Increased profitability: Research from Cone Communications shows that businesses with a strong social impact strategy see a 20% increase in profitability over five years.
- Employee retention: Companies with an active social impact programme reduce staff turnover by up to 50%, saving thousands in recruitment and training costs.
What are you waiting for? The stats show that social value drives growth. With Investors in Community, you can easily integrate, track, and report your social impact initiatives to get these results.

The process-driven journey – post 3
We know the challenges. Managing social impact across multiple branches, coordinating volunteers, organising donations, and keeping records of all these activities. It’s time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be.
With the Investors in Community platform, we take the manual work out of social impact management. Here’s how:
- Automation: The IIC platform automatically records and verifies all your social impact activities, from donations to volunteer hours.
- Streamlined management: Save time on coordination and reporting by using our user-friendly interface that connects your business with local charities and community projects.
- Seamless reporting: Gone are the days of Excel sheets and manual updates. With IIC, you can generate real-time reports at the click of a button, perfect for tenders, compliance, and annual reports.
Let’s break down the numbers for a business with 10 branches:
- 1 hour/week spent managing social impact at each branch
- 4 hours/week spent at head office coordinating your social impact efforts
That’s 56 hours every month—728 hours a year spent on manual management.
With Investors in Community, you can eliminate those hours. If the average hourly rate in the UK is £17.40, that’s a potential saving of £12,667.20 annually. Think of what else you could do with that time and money.
