Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The SDGs are a global call to action to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all human beings live in peace and prosperity. We believe that the 17 Goals can bring value to an organization's communication with its customers, investors and other stakeholders. Thus, Impact Track allows projects to demonstrate their link with the SDGs.

Social Value International

Social Value International is a global pioneering network focused on social impact that aims to change the way society represents value. Impact Track aims to integrate the 7 Principles of Social Value that provide the fundamentals for anyone who wants to improve their positive impact and master the negative.

IRIS

IRIS is an initiative of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) that brings together a catalog of over 500 indicators to measure social, environmental and financial performance. Impact Track uses IRIS to enrich its list of indicators and propose only those that are relevant to each project.

Theory of Change

The Theory of Change or 'Impact Value Chain' is a method that helps to clarify the cause-and-effect links between the activities carried out and the impact envisaged by the organization. This model is useful both for planning and for communicating impact. Impact Track uses this methodology to help you describe the impacts you generate.
