Ops vs. IBMs vs. Disclosure Questionnaire, additional distinctions within the structure of the BIA. Ops composes the primary portion of the assessment. Its focused on the impact of the company on a day to day basis. These questions are necessary to understand the impact of the company...the company has an impact in these dimensions and the evaluation is based on how the company makes those impacts good. (You have to have employees, do you treat them well.) You have to produce waste, do you minimize it, and do you recycle it, etc.)
3.00 – 3.10
In addition to the operational impacts of a company, the company also captures the business model impact of companies providing material, extraordinary, verifiable, durable, stakeholder and outcome focused impact business models.
3.00 – 3.10
ORGANIZED INTO GOALS (ASPIRATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF IMPACT FOR THE SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDER
3.00 – 3.10
Blue are Ops topics
Red are IBM topics
IBM:
More IBM credit is given if you can show an outcome as well as an intended impact. For example, launch a product which is designed to improve educational attainment = receive points. Receive more points if you can show a % improvement in GCSE results as a result of your product. On average, 50:50 split between impact and outcome
50% of accounts don’t get IBM points other than making the legal amendment.
Max points in IBM = 60
Legal scores: Signed term sheet = 2.5 / Made amendment = 7.5 / Benefit Corp = 12.5
ADDENDA:
Additional addenda for certain sectors = sector specific questions
For example: Capital Investors, Higher Education, Education services, Credit advisor, Fund manager, Green building
