BETHESDA, Md., August 7, 2026 /3BL/ – Tandem Global announces the release of a new white paper, From Corporate Action to Community Impact: An Overview of Tandem Global’s Social Impact Model and Its Application Across Programs and Partnerships, available for download today. This white paper is sponsored by Koch.
For much of modern business history, corporate success was measured primarily through financial performance and shareholder returns. This perspective has evolved as organizations increasingly recognize that long-term value creation depends on the health and resilience of the broader social and ecological systems in which they operate. As a result, businesses are increasingly viewed not only as economic actors but also as influential institutions shaping economic opportunity, community development, and social outcomes worldwide. This changing relationship between business and society has elevated the importance of social impact.
This white paper explores Tandem Global’s Social Impact Model and how the organization empowers the private sector to create lasting value for people and communities. By examining consulting initiatives, WHC Certification®, and grant-funded projects, it demonstrates how collaboration between businesses and communities can create measurable environmental and social outcomes while building the partnerships needed for long-term resilience.
Featured case studies include:
- Buzzi Unicem, Wildlife Habitat and Outdoor Classroom: Pryor, OK
- General Motors, SGM Jinqiao: Shanghai, China
- WM, Southeastern Microhabitat Initiatives: U.S.A.
Sponsored by Koch, this white paper features a foreword from Sheryl Corrigan, Vice President, Environmental, Health and Safety, offering insight into how corporate leadership and cross-sector collaboration can drive meaningful, measurable social impact and create lasting benefits for communities.
