Impactr has developed a Responsible Business Conduct Policy, which outlines our approach and commitment to integrating responsibility in our business. The policy is signed by our CEO, is reflected in any other relevant policies and stipulates our human rights expectations to ourselves, including our employees and our business relationships. The policy is publicly available for download below.

"We are a responsible, ethical company with a fierce sustainability and regenerative future-mindset in our DNA. We are relentless in our striving for empowerment of under-represented groups to be a powerful voice in the decisions and actions that shape our world.
Our business model is in place to ensure that we can attain the magnitude of financial capacity required to finance our impact activities and realise the vision we want to achieve in accordance with our impact model - that is, with a purpose to fuel and accelerate the sustainability revolution, to make sustainability mainstream – and in turn make the world a better place and create a thriving future for all. Our definition of sustainability is to leave no-one behind.
Impactr commits to periodically conducting risk assessments in relation to human rights, social and environmental aspects of the business. Our first risk audit was conducted in early 2020 and the top risks identified have been addressed and acted upon, not least by the creation of the Impactr Inclusion & Diversity Guidebook & Strategy, which addresses potential risks in relation to unconscious bias and exclusion in our products, technology, company culture and behaviours."
Johannah Maher, Cofounder & CEO Impactr
Impactr’s commitment includes conducting regular operational impact assessments on areas of social and environmental sustainability as they relate to the business. This includes identifying, preventing and mitigating actual as well as potential risks of adverse impacts on all 48 human rights and principles of sustainable development as laid forth in the Rio Declaration as well as principles of anti-corruption.
Our first impact assessment was conducted in late 2019 where several potential as actual risks where identified. We’ve spent 2020 on properly addressing such risks. Top risks have already been acted upon through several actions, one of which includes the creation of the Impactr Inclusion & Diversity Guidebook. The guidebook details our principles and commitments for developing an inclusive culture.
We’d like to thank Christopher Macias Escalona for compiling and developing Impactr’s Impact model, including our Responsible Business Conduct Policy, operational impact assessments and impact report for 2020.
