What Impct Agency does

Impct Agency is a Dutch social impact consultancy founded in 2022 by Niels Redert and headquartered in Rotterdam, South Holland. The firm serves both commercial organizations seeking to embed societal value into their strategy, brand, and culture, and social organizations (foundations, networks, initiatives) needing strategic clarity, sustainable financing, and demonstrable impact. Its stated positioning is to make commercial organizations more societal and social organizations more commercial, operating as a guide, partner, and guardian of social value rather than running time-limited campaigns.

The company delivers four integrated core services: Maatschappelijke Strategie (Societal Strategy, covering MVO/ESG strategy and Social Return policy), Duurzame Financiering (Sustainable Financing, covering fundraising, subsidies, partnerships, and MDT trajectories), Impact Meten (Impact Measurement using the scientifically validated Social Handprint methodology), and Social Return (translating Social Return obligations into value-adding opportunities). The Social Handprint methodology is the firm's principal technical asset, enabling translation of social and ecological results into financial value and Sustainable Development Goal linkages. No software product, API, or digital platform is offered; service delivery is consultant-led.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements sold directly to clients via relationship-driven field sales and referrals, with no public pricing or standardized contracts. The firm operates exclusively in the Netherlands, with a stated team of approximately 8 employees supported by 8 specialized advisors. Customers span commercial manufacturing (Movacolor), Dutch professional and amateur football foundations (PSV, FC Eindhoven, SC Heerenveen, VVV-Venlo, FC Volendam, Kozakken Boys), social enterprises (DAM Nederland, Stichting EcoWare), and municipal government (Gemeente Rotterdam). No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external institutional investors are disclosed.
