We measure our impact with a disability-specific framework

Our custom impact measurement framework is harmonized with Iris metrics, and measures progress against relevant sustainable development goals.

We prioritize impact towards:

  • Goal 4: Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all persons with disabilities
  • Goal 8: Promoting full and productive employment and decent work for persons with disabilities
  • Goal 10: Emphasizing the social, economic and political inclusion of persons with disabilities
  • Goal 11: Making cities and human settlements inclusive and sustainable for persons with disabilities

We benchmark our performance both at the individual investment and portfolio level to inform future strategies.
