The Shujog Impact Assessment is a process to assess a company’s social and environmental impact, and in the process determine whether or not the company qualifies as a Social Enterprise (SE).
The Shujog Impact Assessment creates value by:
- Acting as a standardized and credible measure of social and environmental impact for stakeholders, partners, and prospective investors
- Positioning the SE as a leader in its sector for having a transparent, third-party evaluation of its social and environmental impact
- Enabling the SE to raise capital from impact investors that value its social and environmental returns on parity with its financial returns
Measuring Impact
Shujog Sustainability Pyramid
The Shujog Sustainability Pyramid framework employs a broad set of sector, country and social enterprise-specific indicators to assess the sustainability and impact of social enterprises (SEs).
Shujog analyzes the impact value chain of the SE by first evaluating the SE’s mission, which is the cornerstone of what the SE intends to achieve. After confirming the SE’s financial viability, Shujog assesses its effectiveness in realizing its mission by measuring how it impacts the lives of its beneficiaries and the environment, as well as the society as a whole.
This analysis provides the SE with a credible third-party assessment of the social and environmental impact of its activities. This assessment is a transformative tool which can assist the SE in raising capital from investors that value both social and financial returns while also helping the SE enhance its focus on achieving impact.
