More Than a Feeling: How We Measure Community Impact

In today's world, being a "good corporate citizen" is more important than ever. But what does that really mean? For too long, community impact has been a vague feeling—something businesses hope for but struggle to define.

At The 3P Initiative, we believe in moving beyond feelings to facts. That's why we developed the Community Impact Score (CIS), a proprietary tool designed to give our partners a clear, simple, and powerful metric to prove their positive impact.

What is The 3P Initiative's CIS?

Unlike complex academic models, our CIS is designed with a single, clear purpose: to measure the human element of a company's community engagement. It’s a numerical representation of how many of your employees are actively making our community a better place.

Our philosophy is simple: a company's greatest asset is its people. The CIS is the first tool of its kind that measures the collective goodwill of your team.

How We Calculate Your Score: Simple, Confidential, Powerful

Calculating your CIS is a straightforward and respectful process.

1. An Annual, Confidential Survey: Once a year, we provide a link to a short, completely anonymous online survey for your employees.

2. Focus on Action: The survey asks employees to simply check "yes" if they have participated in community-focused activities in the past 12 months, such as formal volunteering, coaching a team, or helping with a local event.

3. The Simple Formula: We then calculate the percentage of your team that is actively engaged in the community. The result is your official Community Impact Score for the year.

This process is designed to be easy for you and your team while providing a powerful, data-driven insight into your company's culture.

Why Your CIS Matters

Your Community Impact Score is more than just a number; it's a story.
