Creating Social Impact Podcast with Kat Luckock

Evelina Lundqvist and Malin Leth met 1.5 years ago digitally, and sharing the same purpose of reaching a zero-waste society, they came up with ideas on actions to take together. One of them was a podcast, and another idea was a toolkit for workshops.
In this episode, Evelina and Malin share how they use their Methodkit for Sustainable Organisations to help organisations measure their social and environmental impact.
Methodkit for Sustainable Organisations, is a deck of cards, each representing a different perspective that’s important to bring to the discussion of sustainability or social impact.
Evelina and Malin share how we all naturally come to problems and solutions with 3-4 key perspectives that are intrinsically important or of most interest to us, but we then miss out on so many other equally important perspectives that need to be considered for sustainable development.
What we discuss in this episode:

What Methodkit actually is
The importance of bringing different perspectives for sustainable development
Other ways Evelina and Malin are using Methodkit to help sustainable organisations, for example planning workshops and webinars
How you can use Methodkit to measure your social impact, including the questions to ask yourself when using the cards
What “materiality analysis” is
What else they’ve got coming up to help sustainable organisations implement Methodkit

S1 Ep12: Why measuring your social impact matters as a social entrepreneur

When I started as a social entrepreneur I used to think measuring your social impact was something that could be done later on, at the end of the year or programme we were delivering. But then I realised not having our social impact data meant we couldn't communicate the difference we made to our stakeholders and customers.
I also realised it's quite difficult to "go back" and evaluate, review and collect data in retrospect and much easier to build impact measurement in to your operations as you go.
Measuring your social impact should be part of your normal operations; it doesn't have to be overly complex and it isn't a nice to have - it is essential.
Your social impact is often closely linked to WHY you exist as a business, so if you're not able to demonstrate the change your creating people will wonder what you're doing and why you're doing it.
In this episode I share why measuring your impact matters and key things for you to think about no matter where in your journey you are.
