Impact Evaluation
Assess and pursue the impact you seek
Impact Strategy Score
Reflects our assessment of social and/or environmental benefit(s) sought
Execution Risk
Quantifies our analysis of the various risks that threaten successful implementation of the impact strategy
Firm Score
A measure of an entity’s impact authenticity, this figure may also be substituted with a GIIRS Rating
iPAR allows for comparisons across strategies and asset classes
Impact Strategy Score
- A measure of the impact outcome(s), both intended and achieved
- The score is generated before capital is committed and dynamically updated to reflect ongoing progress (or lack thereof)
- Each component of the impact strategy is rated separately, along four axes: Target, Scale, Innovation, and Reporting
- These ratings are then input into an algorithm to produce a composite Impact Strategy Score
Execution Risk
- A quantified evaluation of the obstacles that may impede the impact strategy
- This score is also generated before capital is committed, and dynamically updated as risks are mitigated or overcome
- Financial risks are important, but evaluated separately – thereby allowing analysis of impact creation for any capital deployment
- Facilitates assessments of risk through an impact lens, a critical perspective that no other existing framework supports
Firm Score
- Designed to capture the impact DNA of the capital recipient and to frame that within their impact strategy
- Provides investors with insight into the firm responsible for stewarding their capital
- Based on the comprehensive GIIRS Rating
- The Firm Score exists on a standalone basis, and is not an input for the Impact Strategy Score
