Impact Rating Model

Our impact rating model is based on Impact Management Project's (IMP) five dimensions of impact, integrated with Trill Impact’s own rating approach. Through this assessment we can, at a very early stage, categorize each investment according to the IMP’s impact classifications; benefit stakeholders or contribute to solutions. All venture investments must meet the five dimensions of impact.

The five dimensions

  • What?  Business model with the intention to address environmental or health challenges of tomorrow.
  • Who? Benefit underserved populations or the planet.
  • How much? Reach measurable and scalable impact to drive meaningful results. Maximizing volumes, effectiveness, and lasting positive impact related to people and society.
  • Contribution? Amplify impact through best practice, competence, connections, capital, and purpose-driven culture.
  • Risks? Assess, monitor, and manage risks effectively to improve the likelihood of successful impact outcomes without sacrificing financial returns.

Managing, measuring and reporting

To help determine the most efficient and effective force for positive environmental and societal change, impact measurement is built in throughout the investment process, based on our highly specialized impact & ESG expertise.
