Like many non-profit organizations working in and around the social enterprise and social business communities, Impact Lab was created as a way to solve a problem. Here, the specific problem is articulated in a sense that employees of corporate companies are unable to respond to how they want to individually effect social change.

"We believe that by breaking down barriers between these different groups, a more efficient and effective approach to solving societal & environmental challenges can be implemented," their website writes. "Impact Lab was established as a not-for-profit to build links and increase collaboration between the different groups in order to push forward game-changing ideas and ventures."
