Environmental startup Formative Labs launched a platform to help companies raise money for charities and promote sustainable living while boosting interaction among consumers.
The platform, called Double Impact, turns the act of charity fundraising into a social game for consumers, who work to complete a cause or set of causes by earning Impact Points. Once the goal is met, companies donate money to that cause to help make it a reality.
So your brand already gives millions of dollars to charity each year, but gets little recognition for it. That has to be frustrating. At the same time, there are plenty of people who want to give to charity, but don't have the cash to spare. Doubly frustrating. Double Impact, a new social sustainability program from Formative Labs, aims to solve both of these issues--and get its users to turn off the lights when they leave the room, take public transportation, and shop at the local farmer's market, too.
