With reporting standards that are increasingly asking for more transparency on sustainability and social responsibility, it is becoming important for businesses to understand their impact on stakeholders and society. Companies need to learn how to measure and use impact in their decisions, from strategy to investments. Together with experts and impact-driven CFOs and frontrunning impact enterprises, Impact Economy Foundation launches the Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF), showing how impact accounting creates decision-ready information for managing impact. IWAF enriches reporting standards (such as the CSRD) and helps organisations make the shift from impact reporting to impact management. A sustainable and socially just economy can be created when companies manage their impact and steer on positive impact.
Webinar Highlights
- The practice of impact management: Discover how international frontrunning enterprises use IWAF to integrate impact at the heart of CapEx, strategy, transition plans and day-to-day decision-making.
- Introduction to impact measurement and valuation: Learn how impact measurement and valuation can enrich current integrated reporting practices (CSRD).
- Impact enterprise: Understand how your company can become an impact enterprise.
About IWAF
The Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF) is a revolutionary approach that changes how organizations measure success. IWAF facilitates businesses and investors in measuring their social, human, and environmental impacts and translating them into the language of currency. By making different kinds of impact comparable and comprehensible to all, IWAF facilitates organisations to create decision-ready impact information for investment decisions (with the Impact Return of Investment), strategy & transition plans, and reporting (through the Integrated Profit & Loss Statement). The Impact Economy Foundation has developed IWAF in collaboration with Impact Institute, Harvard Business School, Singapore Management University and the Rotterdam School of Management.
