Reliable tool for screening and qualifying the impact performance, it also provides a visual framework that helps to disclose the results in an easily digestible format to the stakeholders.
Diamond Impact Scoring Scheme incorporates both Impact Management Project (IMP) methodology, aligns to SDGs and weighs ESG criteria in the 4 following dimensions:
Anticipated Outcomes. This dimension is rated based on the findings of the overall assessment of the company’s expected impacts, using the IMP methodology.
Industry Leadership. This dimension is rated based on the findings of the customised ESG risk/impact profile of the company. It assesses the capacity of the company to be exemplary in managing its impacts on key stakeholders to protect and enhance value.
Investment Added Value. This dimension evaluates the potential added-value of investing in the company. The idea is to assess how the investment will contribute to the course, scale and depth of the generated impact and underlying business.
