A custom impact assessment solution for investors
Impact Index evaluation framework
A multi-layered framework combining transparency, risk, ESG activity and SDG contribution, so investors can compare startup impact performance on a consistent basis.
The challenge
Impact Index needed to assess the social and environmental impact of startups while balancing qualitative and quantitative data. The framework had to be comprehensive enough to be credible and adaptable enough to apply across very different companies.
What we did
- Tailored impact evaluation framework integrating qualitative and quantitative metrics
- Designed around sustainability, governance and risk assessment, aligned to ESG factors and the SDGs
- Developed with the Impact Index team and external experts in sustainability and finance
The outcome
A layered evaluation framework that lets investors identify and compare impactful startups on transparency, risk, ESG activity and SDG contribution.
