The Economist Group has today announced the launch of Economist Impact (

nonprofits to deliver positive societal change.

In a unique offering, Economist Impact brings together a 75-year heritage of
evidence-based policy research with the creativity of a trusted media brand to
engage an unrivalled global audience of influential executives. Economist
Impact delivers the insight, innovation and influence decision makers need to
catalyse progress in our rapidly evolving world.
Together with its partners, Economist Impact drives the conversation around
three key areas of systemic transformation -- sustainability, health and the
changing shape of globalisation -- and is already designing multi-year
partnerships for a spectrum of clients, with a global stage enabling them to
play a leading role. Examples include the Back to Blue initiative with The
Nippon Foundation, which aims to protect the health of oceans, and Google
Jigsaw's programme to end online violence against women. Other partners of
Economist Impact include Deutsche Bank, BP, Infosys and Amgen.
Christoph Woermann, CMO, Deutsche Bank Corporate Bank commented, "Economist
Impact leads with credibility, with five R's characterising the brand - rigour,
reliability, research, reach and real-world topics. Our award-winning
partnership connects an engaged audience of treasurers all over the world,
underpinning Deutsche Bank's role as Global Hausbank."
The launch of the new entity follows The Economist Group's strong 2021
performance -- with an operating profit of 41.8m pounds Sterling, up 8.9m
pounds or 27% on the previous year -- which has placed The Group in a strong
position to pursue long-term profitable growth. These results stem from a
renewed focus on its mission of driving progress. The creation of Economist
Impact as a global, evidence-led business is a key part of the Group's
strategy.
Lara Boro, Chief Executive of The Economist Group, said:
"To overcome complexities and seize opportunities in our modern world, today's
leaders must shape the conversation on topics that matter. Economist Impact is
designed to provide decision makers with the deep-dive insights and a trusted
platform they need to do that.
Building on our heritage and far-reaching expertise, Economist Impact
represents the latest step in The Economist Group's evolution. We are
galvanised by its potential, and proud that so many global brands and
institutions are already embracing Impact partnerships and choosing to work
with us."
Claudia Malley, Managing Director of Economist Impact Partnerships, said:
"The world is in the midst of a major paradigm shift. To lead the way forward,
we have created a new unique model for partnership.
Through a powerful combination of evidence-based insights, creative innovation
and unmatched global influence, we can reframe the conversation, rethink
solutions to the issues facing our world, and unlock opportunities for progress
- not only creating value for the organisations we work with, but also
delivering world-changing impact."
