Why would a company invest in making a positive impact on society? At a time where many corporate social impact programs are being scaled back, I've been wrestling with the question of what leads an organization to build out an impact team. So in collaboration with CASE at Duke, I asked leaders in the field what factors led to their organization making a formal investment in an impact department. Find out what I learned in my article on the CASE website. Thank you to Erin L. Worsham, Carrie Gonnella, Kimberly Bardy Langsam, and David Wilkerson for your support with this research project!

Why Do Companies Invest in Social Impact? What drives companies to take the leap into corporate social impact? In her new article "Corporate Social Impact - Drivers Behing Making the Investment", Marlee Margolin (WEMBA ‘25) explores the key factors—unrealized value, stakeholder pressure, and company maturity—that push organizations to make their first formal investment in impact programs. Featuring real-world examples from companies like CDW, Braze, and Lemonade, this article offers insights for leaders looking to align business strategy with positive societal change.
