Creating a common language for reporting social and environmental impact.

Impact Reporting & Investment Standards, or IRIS, is a common language for describing the social and environmental performance of an organization.  IRIS provides an independent and credible set of metrics for organizations to use when reporting their impact.  IRIS indicators span an array of performance objectives and include specialized metrics for a range of sectors including financial services, agriculture, and energy. Like financial accounting standards, IRIS provides a basis for performance reporting and organizations need only report on applicable metrics from the IRIS library. More about IRIS
