The Impact Management Platform is included in PART 2 (The Purposeful Investment Landscape), under Impact Investment, because it is a collaborative hub of leading international standards, frameworks and guidance that clarifies and builds consensus on impact management and provides partner-aligned resources, tools and implementation guidance for measuring, managing and reporting social and environmental outcomes; this directly supports the book’s discussion of purposeful investing by showing how investors can align ESG and impact activities with emerging global standards, design robust impact measurement and management processes, and ensure that investments contribute to specific, measurable positive outcomes.
