Muneer Panjwani for Fast Company: “Corporate social impact is experiencing a market correction”

“The past few years in corporate social impact have felt like a bull market.” Untraditional Philanthropy expert Muneer Panjwani contributed these words to Fast Company in an essay titled “Corporate social impact is experiencing a market correction”. In it he discusses trends in corporate social impact from the lens of stock market behavior, and gives advice to young leaders in the social impact space on how to survive and thrive based on stock market learnings.

“… After 2020, companies raced to make commitments on racial justice, climate, mental health, and equity. Budgets grew. New executives were hired… But anyone who follows the stock market knows what comes after a bull run: a correction. A correction isn’t a crash. It’s a recalibration. It trims excess, exposes weak bets, and rewards investments with real fundamentals. That’s exactly what we’re seeing now in social impact.”
