What is Impact Reporting
Understanding how your organisation’s activities affect society and the planet is critical for long-term sustainability and value creation. Impact Reporting allows organisations to measure and communicate both the positive and negative impacts of their operations, providing clarity on how your business contributes to global sustainability goals.
Why this matters
Investors, regulators, and stakeholders increasingly demand evidence of organisational impact.
A structured impact reporting approach:
-
Quantifies positive and negative outcomes of your business activities.
-
Aligns reporting with recognised frameworks such as IRIS+, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Impact Project Management Framework.
-
Provides strategic insights to enhance impact, reduce harm, and optimise resource allocation.
-
Supports transparent communication with stakeholders, enhancing trust and credibility.
Without impact reporting, organisations risk overlooking opportunities to create meaningful change or failing to demonstrate ESG performance in a measurable way.
