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

• Fast-growing player in the two and three-wheeler electric mobility eco-system
• 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
