IMM is sometimes seen as a compliance or reporting activity; this research shows that IMM is actually a management tool, actively used by investors in a variety of ways to improve both their impact and business performance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/212189234\/inarticle --><\/p>\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0' class=\"ad-float-left\" style=\"height: 250px; width: 300px;\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>\u2022 Impact Investors are motivated to achieve diverse types of impact through their investments and their approaches to IMM are designed to understand progress on those specific impact objectives. This diversity can be seen in the types of impact they seek to achieve and the groups of people they aim to benefit, such as women and girls or individuals of a certain socioeconomic status. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) a common framework for defining impact goals. 42% of respondents seek to use their capital to address one or more of the SDGs, such as affordable and clean energy, decent work, and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Impact investors use a variety of resources to measure and manage their impact. The majority of impact investors (62%) use IRIS \u2013 a catalog of metrics and guidance managed by the GIIN \u2013 to define key indicators, while 41% use B Analytics, and 26% use the Principles for Responsible Investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Both intrinsic and explicit incentives drive the activities of impact investors. Although most respondents said their staff and investees are intrinsically motivated by impact, several investors have applied creative strategies to bake impact incentives into their business practices, such as tying impact targets to staff compensation or follow-on capital for investees.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Although investors note significant progress in the utility of IMM practice, defining fundamentals for understanding impact, as well as in the sophistication of tools and frameworks available, fragmentation in approaches to IMM remains a significant challenge.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTo fully realize the potential of impact investing, the industry needs to effectively integrate impact considerations into the investment process,\u201d<\/em> said Amit Bouri, the GIIN\u2019s Chief Executive Officer. <em>\u201cThis means information on impact should be considered alongside risk, return, and liquidity factors, so investors can manage their portfolio toward both impact and financial objectives. This report provides first-of-its-kind information about the emerging practice of impact measurement and management, which aims to enable investors to use both impact and financial data for decision-making.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GIIN\u2019s Director of Impact Measurement and Management, Kelly McCarthy, added, <em>\u201cThe GIIN\u2019s research shows that nearly all impact investors report their impact performance in some way, but there is still progress to be made in terms of establishing norms for how we integrate impact into investment decision-making. This report reinforces the importance of transparency, credibility, and accountability in impact measurement and management practice across the impact investing industry as it continues to evolve and grow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What is IMM? Impact measurement is the process of setting impact goals and targets, selecting appropriate metrics, collecting and analyzing data, evaluating impact, and reporting to stakeholders (internal and external). Impact management is the process of assessing the impacts of an investment on people and the planet and using that information to inform investment strategy and to improve performance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>About the GIIN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the scale and effectiveness of impact investing around the world.
