Building Blocks of Sustainability Reporting
Challenge
  • Fast-growing player in the two and three-wheeler electric mobility eco-system
  • Secured pre-Series A investment from a leading climate-tech investor a few years earlier; currently preparing towards a follow-on investment from global impact investors
  • Needed to set in place an impact reporting framework to communicate evidence-based impact narrative to prospective investors
Our Approach
  • Chose IRIS+ standard based on rigorous evaluation of alternative impact reporting frameworks
  • Identified material sustainability topics and developed impact metrics for each
  • Baselined and forecast impact outcomes for the next five years
  • Developed the impact scorecard for external reporting; crafted the forward-looking impact narrative for integration into the investor pitch deck
