This article discusses the role of the Chief Impact Officer (CIO), most often translated into Polish as the Chief Innovation Officer, in shaping and implementing an organization's innovation strategy. The emergence of this new role stems, on the one hand, from the need to incorporate ethical risks, equity, and long-term sustainability related to technological innovations into company strategies, and, on the other, from customer expectations that technology companies demonstrate social and environmental responsibility. As digital transformation accelerates, stakeholders have begun to demand clearer accountability for the social consequences of artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, data management, and automation. Measures, tools, and benchmarks in this area have become necessary.
