The Impact Evaluation Standard
The Impact Evaluation Standard (IES) helps organisations all over the UK
put a more tangible value on their social value activities
The Impact Evaluation Standard (IES) is a proprietary framework designed to help UK organisations measure and value their social value activities.
The Impact Evaluation Standard is a collection of metrics, proxy values and guidance documents designed in conjunction with a consortium of social value experts. It draws upon guidance from the UK government and a range of social value bodies and thought leaders.
The Impact Evaluation Standard is aligned to the UK government’s ‘Social Value Model’ and PPN06/20. In additional to these, the Impact Evaluation Standard includes a range of custom proxy values which allow organisations to convert the social impact they are creating into a financial value.
The Impact Evaluation Standard is commissioned by Thrive and governed by an independent Steering Committee.
