In this Investments & Pensions Europe article, author Susanna Rust discusses the launch of the Global Impact Investing Network’s (GIIN) IRIS+ financial inclusion impact performance benchmark. Rust writes, “The GIIN has launched the beta version of its first benchmark that will allow investors to analyse and compare the impact performance of their investments against that of their peers and relative to global goals. The first in a series of benchmarks that will launch in the IRIS+ system is for financial inclusion, with agriculture and energy next in line. IRIS+ is an impact measurement and management system developed and maintained by the GIIN.”
