Diamond Impact Scoring Scheme

Mandalore Partners has developed its proprietary Diamond Impact Scoring Scheme, an impact scoring system that allows not only to evaluate potential investments through the impact lens but also to monitor the impacts of the portfolio companies. 

Diamond Impact Scoring Scheme provides a 4-dimensional analysis of both anticipated impact risks and returns, thus it is more complete than ESG analyses that usually only account for minimising negative impacts, or risks. Reliable tool for screening and qualifying the impact performance, it also provides a visual framework that helps to disclose the results in an easily digestible format to the stakeholders. 

Diamond Impact Scoring Scheme incorporates both Impact Management Project (IMP) methodology, aligns to SDGs and weighs ESG criteria in the 4 following dimensions: 

  1. Anticipated Outcomes. This dimension is rated based on the findings of the overall assessment of the company’s expected impacts, using the IMP methodology. 

  2. Industry Leadership. This dimension is rated based on the findings of the customised ESG risk/impact profile of the company. It assesses the capacity of the company to be exemplary in managing its impacts on key stakeholders to protect and enhance value.

  3. Investment Added Value. This dimension evaluates the potential added-value of investing in the company. The idea is to assess how the investment will contribute to the course, scale and depth of the generated impact and underlying business.

  4. Alignment. This dimension assesses how effectively the company’s positive impacts align with financial returns.
