Case Studies

"Our investment committee likes to see whether or not the GIIRS fund manager evaluation is in line with our own assessment of the opportunity. Between the two, we can come up with a consolidated, holistic interpretation of a fund manager’s view of impact and a much more valid and trustworthy understanding of the impact of a particular investment strategy. "

"We needed to have a system where an outsider could come in, audit our impact, and understand it without jumping through multiple hoops. B Lab was able to provide us with that. "

"Setting up the fund, we sought advice on how to measure impact and came across GIIRS. We wanted to apply equal rigor to measuring social and environmental impact alongside financial impact. B Analytics provided us with multiple solutions that met our impact measurement, analysis, and reporting needs throughout our entire investment process - from time of consideration to exit. "

"Integrating B Analytics into our process helped us develop more rigor around impact measurement. "

"When a third party benchmarks your performance on a global barometer, it adds credibility. The structure of the impact report was an excellent learning tool. We loved the whole process."

"The structure of the B Analytics report – its ease of communication and efficacy for understanding our impact – was able to guide the investor discussion, along with other considerations that led to the investment decision. "

"We need a standardized way to compare apples to apples across different impact areas. We saw great potential to do this with B Analytics. "

"B Analytics will help streamline reporting, enhance robust benchmarking, add legitimacy to the sector, and enable the broader market to understand what impact investing is."

"We found the Fund Manager Assessment process to be very streamlined, efficient and useful. The rating system is now at a point where fund manager feedback has been integrated and it increasingly meets the needs of fund managers and their investors."
