ReGen StrategicSocial Impact, Social Performance and Social Innovation
At ReGen Strategic, we help organisations achieve stellar social performance through social impact assessment and management.
Social impacts are changes experienced by people both inside and outside of an organisation as a result of an organisation’s activities. Social impacts can be positive or negative. Identifying, assessing and properly managing both your positive and negative social impacts results in smoother regulatory approvals, community support for your projects, safe and engaged employees, and greater market demand for your products and services. Social impact management is also the key to meeting and reporting on the ‘S’ requirements in ESG frameworks.
We bring together strong technical expertise with extensive experience in meaningful engagement, to provide a genuine alternative in the planning and delivery of social impact management systems.

Meeting your needs
Whether you need to manage the impacts of built infrastructure projects, finance your social impact activities, communicate your social performance to stakeholders or navigate ethical grey areas, our social impact assessment consultants can meet your needs.
Built infrastructure projects
The impacts of built infrastructure projects such as mining, energy and transport on host communities, and the quality of project proponents’ relationships with communities, is under ever-increasing scrutiny from an array of stakeholders, from government and civil society to industry bodies and investors. Embedding strong social impact evaluation and management practices supports your organisation to enhance the positive and avoid, mitigate and manage the negative social impacts of projects, which in turn lowers strategic risks to projects.
Social Finance
Whether you are seeking social finance, are a philanthropic or government funder, impact-first investor or socially responsible finance-first investor, we can help you navigate the multiple models of social finance. From corporate social investment strategies to ESG framework-compliant investments to outcomes-based procurement, we offer an array of services to support collaboration, selection, planning, design and implementation.
Business Ethics
Legal compliance is no longer a widely accepted proxy for business ethics, while shared norms have been replaced with ever-shifting, lightning-quick networks of information. We offer an array of services to help businesses navigate the confusion, connecting modern business ethics, values and ethical culture to your evolving offering. Ultimately, we support you to make your core product well; clean up your messes; do no harm; and treat humans with dignity and respect.
