The world of business is evolving along with society and technology. Now, more than ever, society is more interconnected than ever before. The internet has brought us together and allowed for new kinds of businesses to flourish and improve the financial, social and environmental well-being of the world. But what’s next for businesses interested in promoting a social impact? How can they improve and better serve the causes they were built for? Well, there’s a variety of ways they could improve. Social Enterprises for example, could be more honest and transparent with their business operations. They could be more efficient and organized, allowing for financials to be spent where needed. These are the key aspects of social enterprise that must be improved upon, and the implementation of blockchain technology has the power to achieve them.
The power of the blockchain can revolutionize all kinds of companies interested in promoting social impact and bring them to the next level. As the blockchain is an immutable, public and decentralized ledger, it can be used for absolute transparency among the financials and operations of these new companies.
People will be able to verify who or where exactly their money or aid is being distributed too. If these types of organizations are run on the blockchain, there will be complete honesty and transparency. No more will CEOs and the middlemen of giant companies branding themselves as promoting social good. Will be able to pocket substantial amounts of money.
Another benefit of blockchain tech is the speed, efficiency, and identification capabilities it presents. For instance, the blockchain can efficiently and reliably coordinate, send and organize complex pieces of data so organizations can cut various processes and do them more efficiently.
3 examples of startups using blockchain to promote social impact are Civic, Giveth and Digits.
