Social performance is your next competitive advantage. Are you measuring it?
Regulation is arriving. Stakeholder expectations have shifted. The organisations pulling ahead are those that can measure, report and prove their impact on people - confidently and credibly.
At Social Traders, we're removing complexity and providing tools, data and expertise to do exactly that.
WV Technologies
Organisations that perform best for people, perform best in business
Trusted by 300+ Australian corporates and governments, Social Traders helps you turn social performance into a measurable, reportable and commercially valuable business lever.
Social performance is the impact a business has on people. Essentially, how a business delivers on the “S” in ESG.
Gain clarity, meet social performance standards and communicate social outcomes confidently with our support.
We work across four areas that matter to decision-makers:
Your people
Attract, engage, protect and develop the workforce behind your business.
Your suppliers
Deliver value through supplier diversity, promote equity and safeguard vulnerable people across your supply chain.
Your customers
Understand how your products and services can improve people's wellbeing and financial security. Increase your employee value proposition at the same time.
Your community
Build the trust and reputation that protects your brand. Contribute to the economic, social, and cultural resilience of communities you operate in.
Project F
Lead your industry in social performance
Businesses that deliver measurable, credible social outcomes are getting ahead of the market, mitigating risk and leading their industries.
Social performance isn't a reputational nice-to-have. It's a commercial imperative.
- Win more customers: When brands pair social commitments with functional excellence, consumer preference jumps from 42% to 70% (Harvard Business Review)
- Get ahead of regulation: Mandatory sustainability reporting is already here in Australia and it's expanding. With the EU's CSDDD and ISSB's human capital standards on the horizon, social performance reporting is a matter of when, not if.
- Build brand leadership: 64% of consumers buy or avoid brands based on their beliefs about what a company stands for (Edelman, 2025). Stand for something good and measurable.
- Attract and retain top talent: Organisations that invest visibly in people and purpose, outperform peers in workforce productivity and retention.
