Corporate social spending is on the rise as businesses face growing pressure from stakeholders to make a positive impact in the communities they serve and throughout their supply chains. This demand is further intensified by regulatory scrutiny, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Directive, which requires European companies to measure and report their material impact on communities and supply chains. Additionally, the SEC is cracking down on cause-washing and green-washing claims, holding public companies accountable for their social impact commitments. On the other hand, impact-producing organizations, like nonprofits and social enterprises, struggle to receive funding based on their efficacy rather than reputation. Despite their agility and crisis response capabilities, only a small fraction of international humanitarian aid reaches these local organizations. Their time is consumed by fundraising efforts, grant applications, and reporting, limiting their capacity to scale their impact. Enter OutcomesX, the social outcome marketplace that bridges the gap between corporations and impact producers. By providing verifiable impact and equitable capital allocation, the platform empowers impact producers to access global funding and focus on driving meaningful change.
