Social impacts are becoming more and more relevant for companies as a differentiator and business driver.
Join the partnership
Since 2013 around 20 companies have developed and tested the Handbook for Product Social Impact Assessment and supporting reports. This Handbook has become the de facto standard for companies that look for a credible, science based, yet pragmatic approach. Anyone can download and apply the Handbook.
After 7 years the Roundtable members are transforming itself into a Partnership, embracing any company that wants to understand the social impacts of their brands, product groups or individual products.
The entry level Supporting Partnership, provides direct access to support and interaction with your peers. At this level we do not yet go into all the details of the methodology, but we help you to understand the potential business case when learning and adopting this approach.
When you are already ready to embrace the methodology, the Active partnership provides in depth training and supports you while executing your first case study. We believe in learning by doing.
The third level Core Partnership is reserved for the current Roundtable members, but will also be open to Active partners when they have completed their first case study.
Active partner

Active partner: Start your first case-study
Active partners get an extensive 12 hours on-boarding training in order to understand the metrics and the procedures described in the handbook, such as the materiality assessment, the availability of data sources, and the suggested procedures for hotspot identification and impact assessment.
Exercises during the training will help you to describe the goals and scope as well as the data collection strategy of the first case study you would like to execute.
PRé will also provide 12 hours helpdesk support after the training; this also includes reviewing your case study and providing access to some of the databases described in the Handbook.
A key benefit is that you will meet other Active partners as well as the Core partners in general meetings in March, June and November. Learning from each other has proven to be inspirational and rewarding.
