Key performance indicators (KPIs) – such as change in farmer income, number of agricultural micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) financed, or the number of decent jobs supported at or above a living wage – will allow investors in the agricultural sector to examine their performance against different impact metrics, with certain KPIs providing a more detailed insight into impact performance using outcomes-oriented data.Īccording to the GIIN, these benchmarks can give investors better understanding of their investments’ impact over time, set impact targets, identify areas of underperformance and outperformance relative to their peers and communicate their impact. The agriculture benchmark allows investors to compare their own impact investment performance to peer groups as well as against the Sustainable Development Goals.
