The Impact Performance Reporting Norms improve the transparency and credibility of reporting on investments intended to create positive social and environmental impact.

They provide recommendations on content that impact reports should include as well as Guiding Principles to ensure the reported information is useful. Initially focused on private markets, the Reporting Norms are now being expanded to include other asset classes and investor types.

100+ organizations have become Founding Adopters. Find out more.
