social audit

A social audit is a process that evaluates an organization’s activities and impact on society. It assesses how well the organization meets its social goals, such as community benefit, ethical practices, and environmental responsibility. By examining policies, actions, and outcomes, a social audit helps organizations understand their social performance, identify areas for improvement, and ensure accountability. This transparent review fosters trust with stakeholders, including the community, employees, and partners, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to positive social impact alongside its economic objectives.
