Investors for impact have been true pioneers in recognising the importance of impact measurement and management (IMM) by taking a systematic and evidence-based approach and leveraging impact data collected.
EVPA has launched the report "Navigating Impact Measurement and Management - How to integrate impact throughout the investment journey", as well as a series of practical cases that showcase how investors for impact set up, apply and refine their IMM strategies.
Following the launch of the case studies of Bridges Evergreen, Rethink Ireland and Tilia Impact Ventures, EVPA is organising the webinar "IMM lighthouse: best practices to navigate impact measurement and management". During this webinar, the three organisations will discuss what are the best practices and main challenges to measure and manage impact, fostering a lively discussion with experienced practitioners in the field.
The webinar took place on Wednesday 26th January at 16.00-17.30 (CET).
