As impact investors around the world seek to advance their understanding and application of impact management best practices, one common pain-point is how to translate robust and nuanced assessments of impact into terms that are decision-useful, actionable, and comparable across a diverse portfolio of investments. One of the world’s largest impact investors in frontier markets, CDC Group, has designed a system to do just that.
