Blue like an Orange - Impact and Sustainability Report 2023
Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital’s 2023 Impact Report not only quantifies how our investments delivered impact in 2023 (reached 8 million individuals and 91 thousand small businesses, among which 77% underserved) but also showcases the results of some of the impact measurement and management processes we have improved over the year:
- Highlight of 2023 portfolio impact performance towards the Fund’s quantitative impact targets adopted in December 2023 (see explanatory note)
- Refined sectorial impact indicators allowing to move beyond “unidimensional data about the scale of impact” by reflecting the characteristics of beneficiaries and their satisfaction
- A benchmark of our impact results regarding Financial Inclusion against the GIIN impact performance tool, a step towards increased comparability in impact disclosure
- Two case studies, selected with the purpose of highlighting the situation of companies that scored the highest and the lowest in 2023 according to our impact scoring system
This report was prepared already considering some of the guidance provided by the “Impact Performance Reporting Norms V1” published in April 2024 by Impact Frontiers, which will be implemented thoroughly over 2024 and 2025 as we participate to the Pilot program of the Norms.
