| Assessment Resource - Leader | Y Analytics |
| Assessment Resource - Purpose | Y Analytics is an evaluator which offers expicit monetary valuation for impact assessments. Our aspiration is for investors, entrepreneurs and corporate leaders at all levels of their organization to be able to target social and environmental impacts with the same rigor, discipline and sophisticated tools that they currently use for situations where the objective is financial returns. Monetization matters because it is a critical, perhaps even essential, means to achieving this. |
| Assessment Resource - Content | Impact monetization is an indispensable tool for making better management and investment decisions. It has a long history—as a cornerstone of social return on investment (SROI) and enshrined in the steps of cost-benefit analysis and regulatory analysis more broadly—yet is only now moving towards the mainstream. The rest of this piece walks through each of these points in more detail, first describing what monetization is and why we do it. It then describes some of the perceived challenges to monetization and how addressing them can help achieve our goal: better decisions about impact. |
