Highlighting Key Measurements and KPIs

Apax developed an Impact toolkit using recognised industry standards with experienced partners. The result: two scores to measure and manage impact throughout the investment lifecycle.

Impact Method Design Principles

Simple
Evidence-based
Measurable
Adaptive

Impact Threshold Score

The impact threshold score is built on the key Impact Management Project “Impact Norms.” It helps the team qualify an opportunity by ensuring the company drives impact outcomes that are aligned to our fund objectives.

Impact Improvement Score

The Impact Improvement Score measures Impact outcomes during the investment period and monitors key Impact priorities that should grow or increase. It tracks a company’s Impact progress via scale and depth (“what”) and ESG improvements (“how”).
