Impact Measurement & Valuation

Measure your environmental and social impact, and understand what it is worth. 

We help organisations with impact measurement and valuation to understand and quantify impact across the value chain. By structuring your impact analytics and translating it into monetary value (€), we make it directly comparable with your financial performance, and across companies and sectors. 

Why impact measurement & valuation matters

Every organisation’s activities result in hidden societal costs and benefits. This impact is often not well understood, due to several reasons:

Organisations focus on optimising financial value, making impact a blind spot

Hidden societal costs and benefits are difficult to quantify and compare

There is a lack of clarity around different methodologies for impact measurement

Impact reporting and ESG reporting are often done without sufficient rigour

Our approach 

We provide robust impact measurement services and impact valuation methodology, based on the Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF). 

We apply a multi-capital, multi-stakeholder perspective, covering impacts on people, planet, and society — enabling comprehensive sustainability impact measurement. 

We translate environmental and social impact measurement into €, enabling comparison with financial performance and a clearer understanding of scale, trade-offs, and risks. 

Apply one framework across your organisation(s)

Comparability & Transferability

Whether we help you apply this framework to products (True Pricing), profit & loss statements (True Profits), or financial investments (True Returns), the same underlying logic ensures comparability across the organisation, sectors, and markets.

This structured approach enables you to:

  • Identify impact hotspots across your value chain  
  • Understand hidden costs and benefits  
  • Gain insights into where value is created or lost  
  • Quantify positive and negative externalities (in €)  
  • Compare products, portfolios, and investments  
  • Improve capital allocation and impact risk assessment
