Bridges Impact+ together with Skopos Impact Fund published a paper that describes their development of an ‘impact management’ approach, which they define as the management of assets in order to meet explicit impact goals (alongside financial goals). More than Measurement: A Practitioner's Journey to Impact Management aims to catalyze a global effort to develop a shared convention for describing impact goals, in a way that can inform portfolio construction. It is primarily intended for existing or prospective impact investors – though, the logic can also be relevant for other practitioners engaged in philanthropy and sustainability, in the interests of coordinating the various approaches to creating societal impact.
