BlueMark creates impact benchmark

by Krystal Scanlon 10 May 2021

BlueMark has created a benchmark for tracking best practices in impact management in a bid to eliminate impact-washing.

The benchmark, which claims to be the first-of-its-kind, allows asset allocators to differentiate between impact leaders and learners by identifying how well managers align with the Operating Principles for Impact Management.

It is based based on aggregated data and insights from 30 impact verifications, which cover the following:

  • Impact objectives
  • Portfolio-level impact management
  • Investor contribution
  • Impact due diligence
  • ESG risk management
  • Impact monitoring
  • Impact at exit
  • Impact review

Each BlueMark impact verification involves conducting multiple interviews with client teams as well as reviewing investment policies, transaction documents, data and reports.
