What is Social Auditing?
Social Auditing is a process that allows organisations to evaluate and measure their social impact and adherence to shared wealth principles. At SEi, we believe that transparency and accountability are essential for building trust and ensuring that businesses are truly committed to sharing their wealth fairly.
The Importance of Social Auditing
Social Auditing plays a crucial role in the Shared Wealth movement. By conducting regular social audits, businesses can assess their performance in terms of wealth distribution, social impact, and ethical practices. This process helps identify areas for improvement, highlights successes, and ensures that businesses stay true to their shared wealth commitments.
