Impact measurement is central to impact investing, and is increasingly viewed as a driver of value creation for both investors and investee companies. The question among many impact investors is no longer why and whether to measure, but what and how to measure.
The report Impact Measurement in the Clean Energy Sector from the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), examines the impact measurement approaches of 13 members who finance access to clean energy in emerging markets – detailing the metrics, methodologies, and assumptions they commonly use as well as the challenges and limitations they face. The report aims to bring greater transparency to the diversity and limitations of current impact measurement approaches, facilitate shared learning, and provide a tangible resource for those who are new to the sector or seeking to improve practice.
As a member of the GIIN, FMO contibuted to this first report launched by investors participating in the BoP Basic Services Trackreport.
