Full Spectrum Finance

B Labs, Acumen Fund, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and the Rockefeller Foundation have joined together to create standards to enable measurement in the Social and Environmental Impact spectrum. From the IRIS site:

The IRIS conceptual framework leverages over a dozen frameworks ranging from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to the Social Reporting Standards metrics developed by the Social Performance Task Force (SPTF) and The Microfinance Exchange (MIX). Many of these frameworks were designed for specific sectors like microfinance, which has adopted the SPTF metrics, or to encourage standardization and credibility in social and environmental reporting, like GRI. The IRIS taxonomy is designed to function across a variety of sectors to enable better measurement and communication of social and environmental impact.

Here's the comment on Susan Mernit's post.
