In today’s dynamic landscape of impact investing and entrepreneurial support, standard metrics are often not enough. To truly align with your goals and requirements, you need the ability to define and track custom impact indicators that reflect the specific priorities of your program or investment strategy. That’s where our Custom Impact KPIs come into play.
What Are Custom Impact KPIs?
Custom Impact KPIs are bespoke indicators that you can integrate into our platform to measure and assess the impact of the companies you support. These indicators can build on, or go beyond traditional metrics, allowing you to capture the data that matters most. Whether you’re focused on specific ESG or CSR topics, or have unique criteria that are critical to your decision-making process or scoring system, we can design and implement the right tools to collect and analyse this data effectively.
How We Incorporate Your KPIs
Our Impact Frameworks are built to specification, in a collaborative design process. Here’s how we integrate your custom indicators into our tools:
Custom tools
We work closely with you to understand your impact KPIs, and incorporate them in custom tools. This might include dropdown lists, numerical inputs, or the integration of external databases and lists.
Seamless Integration
Your custom indicators are embedded into the online tools and as companies update their impact profiles, they provide the exact data you need, ensuring that you can assess their performance according to your specific criteria.
Structured Analysis
As the data is collected, our overviews allow you to easily sort, filter, and analyse the results according to your KPIs and classification system. This structured approach not only simplifies the evaluation process but also enhances your ability to make informed decisions based on the criteria of your program or fund.
Why Custom KPIs Matter
Custom Impact KPIs empower you to:
Align with Your Strategic Goals
Ensure that the data you collect directly supports the specific impact goals and priorities of your organisation, whether they relate to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, or other impact areas.
Enhance Decision-Making
By incorporating your impact indicators, you gain the insights that help you select and support the companies that are most aligned with your mission. Thus maximising the positive impact of your funds and efforts.
Improve Reporting and Accountability
Custom KPIs provide a clear and consistent way to track progress and report on outcomes, making it easier to demonstrate the value and effectiveness of your program to stakeholders.
