Impact Report 2022
The Research People Impact Report 2022
Our first BCorp impact assessment and report is here! Read it here.
We started The Research People with a simple idea: to build a team from different backgrounds and perspectives to provide useful humanitarian research.
In the last five years, we’ve grown that team, delivered more than 60 research studies together, and forged great friendships.
We’ve worked with research associates, innovators and humanitarian organisations across the world. We have been inspired by great ideas and acts of enormous courage. We’ve been frustrated by unnecessary bureaucracy and insidious power dynamics.
We’ve learned a lot!
As we matured and grew as an organisation we wanted to make sure that we had strong organisational foundations in place. The bCorp movement seemed a great place to start. Becoming a bCorp has helped us to develop stronger organisational structures and policies and these are proving vital as our legal, financial, regulatory and ethical obligations grow.
This is our first impact assessment. The first few pages capture the work we delivered in the financial year 2021-22. The second half summarises the results of our bCorp impact assessment, which measures how we are doing in terms of our governance, workforce, customers, our wider community, and the environment.
We’d love to hear from other organisations on similar journeys.
