AI as
your lever

A lever needs a fulcrum and an arm. This is the fulcrum — what makes you able to move social impact.

AI advises — you decide and you sign.

11 June 2026AI as a lever for social impact

Your lever pushes two ways

One fulcrum, two directions.

Inward → your own CC work

Reporting, partner research, the internal pitch. Faster work = more capacity for the mission.

Outward → to nonprofits

Your company's AI skills, channeled out: volunteering, scoping, funding responsible AI.

Same fulcrum both ways: the right tool, used safely, with you accountable.

The frame

AI across your CC value chain.

Partner research

Application scoring

CSRD / impact draft

Stakeholder comms

Grantee / funding decision

draft & scan · human-in-the-loop · you decide — never delegate

Not "use AI everywhere" — know where it helps, and where CC owns the responsible-AI call.

Centerpiece

Live demo — the inward lever

Draft it. Catch it. Sign it.

1Draft a CSRD impact paragraph from rough notes.
!It invents a number — you catch it. This is why you sign, not the model.
2Rehearse your skeptical CFO — or GC / CEO.

~3h → ~40 min — and you still check every number.

Which tool?

Use what you already pay for.

Have M365?: Copilot — safest (inside your data boundary)
Legal blocks it?: Langdock / Mistral — EU-hosted
Translation?: DeepL — the easy yes
ESG / CSRD?: Briink, or SAP Joule for SAP shops

"EU-hosted" is the start, not the finish: still needs a DPA, a DPIA, and Betriebsrat sign-off.

Never paste confidential or partner data into a free consumer app.

Get it approved

Two arguments that move budgets.

Art.4

EU AI Act: the staff AI-literacy duty has applied since Feb 2025 — you're likely non-compliant now; penalties land Aug 2026.

Risk

People already use private ChatGPT with company data. A sanctioned tool stops a live leak.

8wk

Don't ask for a rollout. Ask for a pilot: 10 licenses, one team, one metric.

The ask: "An 8-week pilot — 10 licenses for the CC team, measured on hours saved in CSRD reporting. ~€25/user/mo. Owner: me."

Take it further

Your position — and the outward lever.

Your AI position (starter)

"Our CC function uses AI as an assistant, not a decision-maker — always with a named human signing off, in approved EU-hosted tools, in line with the EU AI Act."

Who signs it: align with Legal/IT — it's not CC's alone to set. You're not behind; almost nobody has this yet.

Point it outward

Don't build from scratch: MI4People · N3XTCODER · CorrelAid · Civic Coding.

5 steps → scope · match · pilot-scope · guardrail & Legal sign-off · measure as CSRD S3/S4. Breakout 1 Track A builds it.

Pick one command.
Try it this week.

The fulcrum's yours now → the rest of the day is where you push. (Next: Breakout 2 / Position.)
