Case study – Building Blocks of Sustainability Reporting
Sculpt Partners developed an impact reporting framework and a related narrative for an Electric Vehicle (EV) eco-system player in India to support its capital raising journey
Challenge

Secured pre-Series A investment from a leading climate-tech investor a few years earlier; currently preparing towards a follow-on investment from global impact investors
Needed to set in place an impact reporting framework to communicate evidence-based impact narrative to prospective investors
Our approach
Chose IRIS+ standard based on rigorous evaluation of alternative impact reporting frameworks
Identified material sustainability topics and developed impact metrics for each
Baselined and forecast impact outcomes for the next five years
Developed the impact scorecard for external reporting; crafted the forward-looking impact narrative for integration into the investor pitch deck
Impact
Evidence-based impact reporting to bolster Series A capital raising efforts
