In this event, Karl Richter, CEO & Co-Founder, EngagedX will be discussing the impact investing eco-system, impact measurement practices and how EngagedX is playing its part in this space. To many the impact measurement landscape can resemble an alphabet soup of systems, methodologies, and tools.

At this session we will give an overview of various approaches to impact measurement used by impact investors and discuss a few of the most prominent resources such as the catalogue of IRIS performance metrics, the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology, and B Lab’s Global Impact Investing Rating System (GIIRS). Karl is the CEO and co-founder of EngagedX, whose mission is to develop infrastructure for the social impact investing market.
