Impact Economy Foundation relation to the Ecosystem.

The Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF) is in the forefront of a broader ecosystem of the measurement, valuation and management of impact. IEF works closely together with actors in the field of Impact Measurement and Valuation (IMV) to strengthen the field, develop an international standard for impact accounting and accelerate the adoption of impact management.

Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework

Broad adoption in practice

IWAF is widely implemented in practice by large enterprises. This ensures that it is not merely a theoretical promise, but a robust standard that is of added value in practice. The extensive application of IWAF provides unique insights to further improve the practice of impact accounting, contributing to the relevance, value for decision-makers, and broader acceptance of IWAF.
