Measuring the social impact of your investment
|
|
As part of our social performance reporting, we account for the social and development-relevant results of our investment activities.
Report of social return
Our investment activities are intended to be a private-sector contribution to achieving the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. The purpose of responsAbility’s investments is to improve the independence and income-generating activities of small and micro-businesses and allow the poor access to essential resources. With our social performance reporting we analyze how successful we are in reaching these goals.
What do we measure?
For every investment theme we define a number of social performance indicators. For microfinance investments, for example, we check how many women receive assistance from a microfinance institution and whether more urban or rural customers have access to financial services. We look at the loan structure (group or individual loans) and whether customers are also able to open a savings account. These and other indicators make a direct or indirect statement about development-relevant effects.

Discussion of controversial issues
We also debate all aspects of entrepreneurial approaches to fighting poverty. In the Social Performance Report and in discussion papers we address issues, such as “Responsibility in working with microfinance customers” or “Fair interest rates”.
