Introducing Astra: B4SI’s AI Digital Worker for Social Impact—Now Available to All B4SI Members
7 July 2025
At B4SI, we know that creating meaningful, measurable social impact takes more than just intent—it takes structure, clarity, and support. That’s why companies around the world have used our Frameworks to ensure the credibility of their social impact data and to make informed management decisions for over 30 years. Today, we’re proud to expand on that value to our members by introducing Astra, B4SI’s AI digital worker.
Fully trained on B4SI Framework guidance and our global collective knowledge base, Astra is here to enhance your day-to-day experience with fast, reliable answers—anytime you need them. Whether you’re looking for clarification on definitions or for how to evaluate and measure your impact, Astra brings answers to your B4SI queries directly to your inbox, 24/7.
Designed to Support, Built to Enhance
We understand that the pace and complexity of corporate responsibility continues to grow. Astra is our response to that reality—a practical solution that gives you on-demand support, no matter your location, time zone, or language preference. Astra makes it easier to engage with the B4SI Framework, providing quicker access to guidance and helping you navigate resources with greater efficiency and confidence, continuing to evolve and improve over time.
And while Astra makes things faster, what matters most hasn’t changed.
The Human Connection Remains at the Core
While Astra introduces powerful new capabilities, the foundation of the B4SI approach remains unchanged: people are at the heart of everything we do. All innovations, including Astra, are shaped with guidance from B4SI’s Governance Steering Groups, made up of business representatives across sectors and geographies.
Our global team of expert Account Managers will continue to provide personalised support, one-on-one guidance, and strategic insight to our members. Astra is here to enhance those human connections—not replace them.
In fact, by taking on repetitive and time-consuming queries, Astra gives members more time and headspace to engage meaningfully with their Account Managers. This means deeper conversations, more tailored advice, and stronger collaboration to tackle complex social impact challenges. Ultimately, Astra enables a more connected, responsive B4SI experience—one where AI and human expertise work hand-in-hand to help businesses drive lasting societal change.
What You Can Expect
- Expertise-on-demand: to ensure accuracy, Astra has been trained exclusively on B4SI’s methodology and resources with input from the whole team, just like any induction.
- Always available: Instant responses via email across time zones, in multiple languages.
- Secure and integrated: Backed by strong data privacy protocols.
- Collaborative by design: Astra keeps your Account Manager in the loop for oversight and continuity.
A New Way to Work with B4SI
Astra joining the team marks the next chapter in B4SI’s mission to empower social impact professionals with tools that are both practical and forward-thinking. By combining the rigour of our framework with the speed and convenience of AI, Astra helps you spend less time on admin—and more time driving real-world impact.
