IDH Impact

How we’re catalysing positive change

Impact is at the core of everything we do. Starting with our mission to put people, planet, and progress at the heart of markets – and continuing through partnerships with government, private sector and civil society to change systems for the better.

We focus our work on three impact areas – better jobs, better income and better environment – with gender equity always front of mind. By working together with our partners across the entire value chain to generate impact in these areas, we contribute to selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

In this way, everyone plays their part to deliver results in sector governance, business practice and field-level innovation. The part we play is as a convenor, learner and innovator, and co-financer – and we measure our impact by our progress in these areas.

We measure our impact through what we achieve in our roles of convenor, learner and innovator, and co-financer as we work towards better jobs, better income, better environment and gender equity for all.
