Impact Index evaluation framework
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.
How we worked
- 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

What came out of it
A layered evaluation framework that lets investors identify and compare impactful startups on transparency, risk, ESG activity and SDG contribution.
