EVPA new publication : Navigating Impact Measurement and Management

A new report from EVPA “Navigating impact measurement and management – How to integrate impact throughout the investment journey” demonstrates how impact measurement and management is deeply embedded into the DNA of investing for impact and how it drives decision-making throughout the whole investment journey, from the definition of investment strategy to the exit.

This report summarises the main elements to be taken into account to measure and manage impact throughout the investment strategy and the investment process, linking each phase to the relevant steps of the EVPA five-step framework.

To clarify how the EVPA five-step process and other IMM initiatives are linked and complement each other, this publication also refers to different principles or standards throughout the investment journey, such as the Dimensions of impact of the Impact Management Project, the Operating Principles of Impact Management, the Principles of Social Value and the SDG Impact Standards.

This report is part of the research project “Navigating impact measurement”, and will be coupled with other research materials, such as a short publication mapping IMM initiatives, a series of case studies, and a series of articles on burning topics.
