Data
Value2Society™ data is typically used by the investment community to quantify the impacts & V2S of current or prospective holdings, funds and portfolios.
V2S data addresses the prevalent sustainability data gaps (most common in private markets), permits impact optimised fund / portfolio construction and offers a handy supplement and check to company disclosures.
A single V2S indicator data point has 5 dimensions:
There are approximately 34 million data points.
Benefits
There are 4 key benefits:
Quantify the impact of holdings, funds, portfolios
Establish a clear impact / V2S baseline for holdings, funds etc. Compare impact baseline to benchmarks to provide context. Integrate impact and V2S with investment key performance indicators. Track progress over time.
Understand & act on priority impacts
Identify the priority issues – in terms of the discrete impacts, where they sit within the value chain, the stakeholders affected, and the likelihood for financial consequences in the short, medium and long term.
Effectively communicate with & engage stakeholders
Provide investors with a robust, comprehensive and comparable measure of their holding, fund’s etc. wider impacts. Engage with investee companies on priority issues, plans to address the priorities, and the role of stakeholders in making progress.
Fulfil the various reporting obligations
Reporting standards have a role, but businesses dedicate too much resource to their fulfilment. V2S Data makes this process more efficient, freeing up resource to develop strategies and plans that optimise V2S and deliver the requisite financial returns.
