ESG reporting has changed.
Most companies have not caught up.

Investors want social data assured just like broader sustainability data. Regulators have moved with them. The UK’s FCA anti-greenwashing rules, Europe’s CSRD, and India’s SEBI BRSR all point the same way. The S pillar of ESG is the hardest to evidence, and the area where companies have traditionally resorted to simple storytelling or quoting figures without context.

Neither is an option any longer.

Investors, employees, customers, the communities you serve, and other stakeholders need:

  • Credible data, backed up by evidence
  • Stories that explain the real impact on lives and communities
Thrive exists because companies need to prove their social impact and tell its story, and most cannot do either reliably, let alone both.

73% of investors want sustainability assurance comparable to financial audits. PwC Global Investor Survey 2024.

76% of investors trust sustainability information more when it is assured. PwC, 2024

Around 70% of CSRD and ISSB reporters say they are extracting business value from sustainability data. PwC Global Sustainability Reporting Survey 2025.

89% of Gen Z and 92% of millennials say purpose matters to job satisfaction. Deloitte Gen Z and Millennial Survey 2025.

Activity in. Quantified impact out.

Thrive captures what your business is already doing across teams, regions, and supply chains, then converts it into quantified, evidence-backed outcomes you can defend to a board, an auditor, or a regulator. Every entry is validated against your framework as it is captured, not at the end of the year, so the data your board sees is clean before it becomes a problem. The platform brings the photos, documents, and beneficiary stories into the same place as the numbers, so the proof and the story stay connected.

Report

Capture

  • Pull data from across the business without forcing anyone to log in.
  • Assign metrics to teams and let the platform chase them on a regular cadence.
  • Open up data entry through surveys, intranet links, even a QR code in the staff canteen.
  • Where activity does not match a predefined metric, create your own to track your unique undertakings.
  • Bring in data through API or file upload from any system you already use.
  • Attach the photos, supporting documents, and beneficiary stories alongside, so the qualitative material that brings activity to life sits with the numbers.
Needs Analysis

Measure

  • Turn a long list of activities into quantified outcomes, with each activity mapped to outcomes, beneficiaries, and a financial value where you want one.
  • Map the same activity to Thrive’s Impact Evaluation Standard, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, CSRD, GRI, SASB, GRESB, or your own internal frameworks, without re-entering the data.
  • Toggle monetised values on or off depending on what you want to communicate.
  • Use international proxies to compare impact across countries, with values shown in local and master currency on the same screen.
Forecasting

Understand

Use Local Needs Analysis to align your activity with what communities actually need. Enter a postcode and the platform returns a picture of local need mapped to your metrics, so you can see where your programmes are having the most impact, where the gaps are, and where to focus next. Forecast the likely impact of a campaign before it starts, so investment decisions are based on evidence rather than assumption.
Configuration

Report

  • Generate board-level briefings, full impact reports, customer-facing communications, and internal stories from built-in templates and bespoke layouts.
  • Pull the numbers, the photos, and the beneficiary quotes into the same output, so the same impact story works for the audience that wants assurance and the audience that wants something more human.
  • Every reported figure is validated in real time at the point of entry, with an evidence trail from headline KPI back to source.
Data collection

Evidence at every level. Validate in real time.

Every figure in Thrive is traceable back to the activity, evidence, and people behind it. Click any reported KPI and the proof is there, validated at the point of entry, ready for a board presentation, an auditor, or a regulator.

Global proxies

Global proxies, local currency

The first platform with social impact proxy values at global scale, in local and master currencies, on one screen. Compare the value created in Sydney with the value created in Manchester without leaving the report.
Thrive software

Real-time validation

Every entry is validated against your framework as it is entered, not at the end of the year. Mistakes are caught when they can still be corrected, not when they are already in the report.

Thrive software

Evidence at every KPI

Click any reported figure and see the activity, evidence, and people behind it. Photographs, beneficiary quotes, documents, sign-offs, source data, all attached to the metric they support. Verifiable when you need to defend the data, and ready to use when you need to tell the story.
Thrive software

Flexible framework mapping

Report against the Impact Evaluation Standard, the SDGs, your own internal frameworks, and bespoke metrics where standard ones do not fit. Use the framework that suits each audience without re-entering the data.

Impact Evaluation Standard

The methodology behind the measurement

Trusted with complex impact data, at scale

  • The Impact Evaluation Standard, which underpins Thrive’s measurement methodology, provides a consistent set of metrics, proxy values, and evidence guidance for quantifying social impact in monetary terms.
  • It is aligned with HM Treasury Green Book guidance and OECD guidance on wellbeing evaluation, and governed by an independent Steering Committee. Members of Thrive’s team helped shape guidance in this field and continue to contribute to its development.
  • It is the only social impact framework whose development was part-funded by the UK Government and the EU.
  • Thrive aligns with ISO 27001, carries out yearly penetration tests and holds Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.

Working with Thrive has been brilliant. They’re really passionate about what they do and the robustness of the Impact Evaluation Standard really gives us credibility with our clients.
