The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has launched the Measuring Impact Framework to help companies measure and assess the impact of their business activities. The Framework is designed to help companies understand their contribution to society and use this understanding to inform their operational and long-term investment decisions and have better-informed conversations with stakeholders.

The Framework includes 3 components:

1) Business case for measuring impacts entitled “Beyond the bottom line”, highlighting the experience of several WBCSD member companies

2) Four-step methodology to identify, measure, assess and manage impacts

3) Excel-based user guide that helps companies carry out an assessment.
