Impact claims need data, not narratives
Investment teams face growing pressure from LPs, regulators, and internal committees to demonstrate real-world contribution.
Mainstream ESG tools fail. Sector-level data built on 1,000 NACE codes can’t distinguish a healthcare company from a tobacco company. And fewer than half of private portfolio companies report impact metrics at all.
You need a comparable, product-level, modelled baseline – not narratives.
the model
4 dimensions. 19 categories. Every number comparable.
Upright's proprietary impact data is grounded in 8 years of development in impact modelling. Every company runs through the same taxonomy of 150,000+ products and services and their value chains.
Built on 300M+ scientific articles and databases from the likes of WHO, OECD, and IPCC. Complemented with UN SDGs revenue alignment & misalignment.
Society: Jobs, taxes, societal infrastructure, societal stability, equality and human rights
Knowledge: Knowledge infrastructure, creating knowledge, distributing knowledge, scarce human capital
Health: Physical diseases, mental diseases, nutrition, relationships, meaning and joy
Environment: GHG emissions, non-GHG emissions, scarce natural resources, biodiversity, waste
