Our Masters of Scale Season 5 sponsorship looks at how the private sector can advance social impact as part of its business model.

We live in a time of unprecedented growth and <a href="https://www.prosperity.com/feed/2019-key-findings-global-prosperity-improving" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">global prosperity</a>. A middle class is emerging in China, India and elsewhere. Global poverty is at its lowest point in decades. Babies and children are growing up healthier, people are living longer in places like Sub-Saharan Africa and more people are gaining an education.Yet, the benefits of progress and growth still elude too many. During the latest season of the podcast series Masters of Scale, we offer three examples of how companies are integrating doing good into their business models to advance more equitable and shared growth. At Mastercard, we call it “commercially sustainable social impact" or CSSI. It’s sustainable because the form of the investments will be organic to a company’s particular strengths and because the goals of inclusive growth benefit everyone in the long run.The examples below show how we’re tapping into Mastercard's people, partnerships, data-driven insights and technology to make a positive difference around the world.
