The   Impact   Framework   and   Assessment   that   Shujog   performs   for   SEs   achieves   the   following   outcomes   in  three  various  phases  of  the  process:

Phase  II:  Impact  Assessment  

Phase  III:  Monitoring  

Phase  I:    Impact  Framework  

Impact  metrics  data     A  verified  Impact

Key  performance  indicators  (KPIs)  for  monitoring    

Performance  analysis  against  competitive  benchmarks  and  the  Shujog  Mark™  Score  

A  review  of  existing  and  potential  initiatives

Shujog  employs   its  Sustainability  Pyramid   in  the   Impact  Framework  and  Assessment  to  effectively  analyze  and  report  the  social  and/or  environmental  impact  of  SEs  along  with  financial  performance.  The  methodology  quantifies   the   impact   using   the   social   return   on   investment   (SROI)   tool   and   provides   a   qualitative  contextualization  of  the  impact  through  a  thorough  evaluation  of  the  following:
