Evidence-based Social Innovation

At Heartwarmingly, we specialize in designing, piloting, and scaling evidence-based social innovations that align with your organization’s values, mission, and long-term goals. Our approach transforms your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives into impactful partnerships and innovative solutions that drive positive social and environmental change.

Our solutions are rooted in research-based practices and backed by rigorous evaluation frameworks to ensure that your innovations are not only effective but also scalable and sustainable. By maximizing your social impact, we help your organization move beyond compliance—making a genuine contribution to societal and environmental well-being.

We also help businesses adapt to the latest EU sustainability directives, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Our interventions are designed to support organizations in making a meaningful social and environmental impact, rather than merely meeting reporting requirements.

Our Methods for Driving Evidence-Based Social Innovation:

1. Piloting New Products and Services
We help organizations design and test innovative products, services, and programs that address pressing social and environmental challenges. Our pilot programs allow for real-world testing, helping you refine solutions before full-scale implementation, ensuring that they are both practical and impactful.

2. Co-Design for Social Impact
Through collaborative workshops and stakeholder engagement, we work with your organization to co-design solutions that reflect the needs and experiences of the communities you serve. This participatory approach enhances relevance, increases buy-in, and ensures that your social innovations have a lasting, meaningful impact.

3. Evidence-Based Research and Analysis
Our expert team conducts in-depth research and data analysis to inform your innovation strategies. By grounding solutions in credible evidence, we increase the effectiveness and scalability of your initiatives, ensuring that they address root causes rather than symptoms.

4. Social Innovation Labs (New)
Our social innovation labs foster creativity and experimentation by bringing together diverse stakeholders—business leaders, community members, policymakers, and academics—to co-create solutions for complex social challenges. These collaborative spaces help generate breakthrough ideas that are both innovative and actionable.

5. Strategy Alignment with EU Sustainability Directives (New)
We guide your organization through the evolving landscape of EU sustainability regulations (CSRD and CSDDD). Our experts help you align your social innovation strategies with these directives, ensuring compliance while maximizing your social and environmental impact.

6. Scaling and Replication Support
We support organizations in scaling successful social innovations, helping to replicate proven models across different contexts and communities. Our strategies focus on ensuring long-term sustainability and maximizing reach and impact.
