SAMETRICA

Alterna Savings has been using's SAMETRICA's platform to track and manage the impact and ESG progress of its microfinance program. We're excited to share more information on Alterna's journey from a stated intention to measure impact to being able to optimize and manage its impact in a couple of short months! Some key findings from Alterna's use of the platform so far are: - Alterna's microfinance program achieved an impact per dollar spent of $4.37, with the largest drivers of value being the total GDP created by businesses, and the additional value of capital made available to marginalized founders. - Alterna microfinance provides loans that are 1.5x larger than their Canadian microfinance peers at a lower cost of capital. - More than 50% of loans are provided to women, who are historically less likely to be approved for financing. - More than 85% of loans are provided to black or persons of colour, who are historically less likely to be approved for financing. - Alterna’s microfinance program leads its global and Canadian peers in terms of availability of impact and ESG data.

A question we get a lot of is "What's the difference between #ESG and #impact?" You asked, we answered. Check out our video below: https://lnkd.in/g3dyUEU3

Creating an #ESG and #impact report for #assetmanagers and putting it in the back of a drawer is no longer an option. WIth increasing #regulatory requirements including #CSRD/ESRS, and requirements from standard setting bodies such as JSON-LD requirements from the Common Approach to Impact Measurement, as well as growing expectations from #LimitedPartners, #investors need to think about how to share their ESG and impact data.

Last week, we published our report on the state of #ESG & #impact reporting for asset managers and found that a lot of #assetmanagers are struggling with how to collect valid data from their portfolio companies.

One of the things we covered in our recent report on the State of ESG Reporting Systems for Asset Managers (https://lnkd.in/gnPzbzA8) is the challenges around collecting relevant, validated portfolio company data with minimal effort. It's a major issue for #assetmanagers. SAMETRICA's platform automatically de-identifies data at the point of #datacollection, empowering portfolio company's #hr teams to collect data while remaining compliant with #dataprivacy requirements globally.
