Frameworks

When we started Impaakt, we decided only to analyse the impact through the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Although they can capture various essential impacts across multiple industries and activities, they can often overlap.

Because measuring current impact is inherently complex and multifaceted, a framework will always have limitations.

We have implemented new frameworks simultaneously to provide multi-dimensional classifications and assess impact through different lenses.

Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations)

At Impaakt, we use the SDGs as an analytical framework to help our contributors structure their work. Our clients compare the impact of different companies according to well-defined, standardised themes.

Impact Categories (Impaakt)

Products

The impact described is related to the company's sector of activities, i.e., WHAT they sell. The impact is generated while using their products & services, not when they are manufactured/produced. 

Some examples include:

  • Essential needs being covered by the products & services offered by the company (e.g., access to water and nutrition, provision of healthcare or education, mobility, etc.)
  • Pollution or environmental issues generated while using the company's products & services (e.g., driving a car)
  • Health issues related to the consumption of the company's products and services (e.g., screen addiction, obesity, etc.)
Processes

The impact described is related to the company's operations, i.e., HOW they run their business.

Some examples include:

  • Pollution or resource depletion related to the manufacturing or distributing the goods and services (e.g., oil spill, GHG emissions at plant level)
  • Social or environmental impacts on the companies' employees, suppliers, or local communities where production occurs (e.g., diversity and inclusion, labour practices, etc.)
  • Job creation, labour practices, or workforce health & safety.
  • Impacts related to bribery, money laundering, or anti-competitive behaviour.
Taxes & Philanthropy

The impact described is related to the company's contribution to TAXES & philanthropic initiatives, such as through CHARITABLE programs (carried by the company itself or the corporate foundation). 

Some examples include:

  • Net tax paid
  • The distribution of the company's products and services for free or at a reduced cost.
  • Provision of grants to charitable organisations.
  • Pro-bono work done by the company's staff.
  • Manufacturing plants used to produce emergency supplies for free or at a cost outside the company's core activities (e.g., textile companies manufacturing masks during pandemics).
  • Support to local communities or people in distress.


Investment Leaders Group Themes (Investment Leaders Group, convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL))

The ILG themes started to get momentum in the sustainable finance industry. It is "a global network of pension funds, insurers and asset managers, with over £14 trillion under management and advice".

This framework allows us to:

1/ Get the social + environmental score of a company

2/ Give the capacity for clients to view a company's impact based on the ILG themes

Using the SDGs as a reference point, the group came up with a framework to analyse impacts split by six broader themes that are either:

Social

  • Basic Needs

  • Well-being

  • Decent Work

Environmental

  • Resource security

  • Healthy Ecosystems

  • Climate stability

Impact Topics

The Impaakt Team has conducted extensive research for 77 industries across 11 sectors to identify the most pertinent social and environmental impacts.

Some impact topics are relevant for all companies across the board, such as Greenhouse Gas emissions and Job Creation, amongst others, whilst others are industry-specific, such as Gentrification.

The excessive purchasing of products, which are often low-priced goods of low quality, may lead to adverse social impacts. This includes but is not limited to dissatisfaction and financial losses.
Positive Health Impacts from Products or ServicesThe ability of companies to positively impact their consumers' health through the products they sell. Catering to specific diets and health requirements can help reduce health conditions.
Product End-of-Life WasteEnvironmental issues associated with hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated from end-of-life of products. It includes the impacts of products, such as packaging or end-of-life. The company's impact lies in the absolute amount of products sold and whether the products can easily be recycled.
