True triple bottom line

Real outcomes, not accounting adjustments.

We measure what a company actually does for people, the planet and its own profit. Impact is not converted into money, netted against earnings or shown as an adjustment to the financial statements. Each lens is measured in its own units, such as jobs created, water saved or emissions avoided, against targets agreed at investment.

Standards behind this checkEach question is mapped to metrics in the IRIS+ Catalog of Metrics, version 5.3c, and each lens to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Impact is assessed on the five dimensions of impact.

MethodQuestions, answer options and scoring are written by RAMHYS. Each answer scores from 0 to 3, and each lens shows its share of the maximum. Answers describe real outcomes in each lens, not financial adjustments. A lens below 40% is flagged as a gap.
