The investments that occupy the impact space have one clear differentiator - the positive social and environmental impact that invested capital can generate. However, organisations seeking to raise capital from investors on the promise of delivering specific positive impacts need to account for their performance.
The Investing for Good Impact Rating methodology is a structured analytical framework that categorises and rates all investments on the basis of their social and environmental performance. The Rating itself is composed of three elements: Confidence, Return and Impact. Underlying these is a set of over 100 weighted considerations.
Investing for Good currently tracks $3bn of impact investments globally.
