VC Co Impact Measurement Strategy

Abstract

The field of impact measurement is gaining momentum and evolving during this time. Certain venture capital firms have begun measuring the social and environmental impacts of their portfolio companies and producing reports targeted towards their Limited Partners or the general public. VC Co, a venture capital firm with a focus on the energy transition, was interested in understanding if it should measure the outward impact of its portfolio companies, and if so, how. This MP paper covers the impact measurement space, emerging trends, and best practices, while the project itself also included a recommendation to VC Co on an impact measurement strategy. The analysis presented in this paper includes an overview of the sustainable investment spectrum and tools and frameworks that are being used for impact measurement today.
