Data and methodologies to make impact comparable

Open Impact Database® is our proprietary data infrastructure designed to support impact benchmarking, impact modeling, and the optimization of generated value.

It collects and systematizes impact chains, outcomes, indicators, and financial proxies to help public and private organizations build more robust, comparable, and decision-useful impact models.

Why an impact assessment database?

Measuring impact requires robust data, clear outcomes, relevant indicators, and comparable benchmarks.

Open Impact Database® was created to support this process: it connects expected results, metrics, taxonomies, and financial proxies, helping organizations build more robust and interpretable impact models.

It’s more than just a database. È un’infrastruttura di impact intelligence che rafforza valutazione, monitoraggio, reporting e supporto alle decisioni.

What the database contains

01

Impact chains

Logical pathways connecting activities, outputs, outcomes, and the changes generated.

02

Outcomes and indicators

Expected outcomes and metrics to measure social, environmental, and economic effects.

03

Financial proxies

Valori economici di riferimento per supportare monetizzazione, SROI e impact accounting.

04

Standards and taxonomies

Links to SDGs, BES, ESG, ESRS, and other relevant frameworks to make the model more interpretable and interoperable.

Dal semplice dato alla impact intelligence.
Dal semplice indicatore allaa impact integrity.

Open Impact Database® is not just about searching for indicators.

It serves to build impact intelligence systems: models where data, outcomes, benchmarks, proxies, and digital tools work together seamlessly.

The Database supports:

  • building impact frameworks;

  • selecting indicators and outcomes;

  • benchmarking projects, programs, and sectors;

  • monetizing outcomes;

  • linking to standards and taxonomies;

  • generating actionable insights for governance, reporting, and decision-making.
