Measuring Impact
Subject paper of the Impact Measurement Working Group:
Social Impact Investment Taskforce
To solve problems on a global scale, we need global capital pools to respond. This means that, alongside the pioneering investors already allocating for impact, we need impact investment to find its formal place within institutional portfolios.
In support of this vision, The Working Group calls on all participants in the impact investing and measurement ecosystem to:
Embrace “impact accountability” as a common value that lies at the heart of all impact investments
Apply measurement best practices across impact portfolios, deals, and investee organizations
Establish an “impact language” and data infrastructure that enables the application of these practices
Evolve the field through continued learning and the advancement of a shared impact measurement agenda
