Impact Maturity Score
Impact Maturity Score is the core Cindeks™ score that shows how strongly and measurably a company or project demonstrates its real sustainability impact.
Using data from ComplianceIQ™ and Green Finance Suite™, it evaluates the breadth of your SDG contributions, the completeness of your DNSH alignment, the presence of measurable impact KPIs, and your examples of transformational impact, then summarizes them under a single Impact Maturity Score.
Impact scope and objectives are clarified
The specific impact areas and intended outcomes of the company or project are defined.
SDG mapping is performed
The system identifies which SDGs the company or project contributes to, and at what level and depth, making the contribution structure clear.
DNSH alignment is checked
The system assesses whether the impact claim is consistent with the “Do No Significant Harm” principle.
Impact KPIs and measurement structure are reviewed
The system reviews how impact is measured, which KPIs are used, and whether data continuity is in place.

The Impact Maturity Score is created, and the summary highlights strengths, gaps, and areas requiring improvement.

What does “impact maturity” mean here?
It refers to how measurably, consistently, and DNSH-aligned an impact claim is structured. In other words, it focuses less on “Is there impact?” and more on “How is that impact evidenced?”
How is SDG contribution handled?
The SDGs contributed to, the scope of the contribution, and the rationale behind it are assessed together. This standardizes the impact narrative under a single framework.
How is the DNSH side evaluated?
The consistency of the impact approach with the “Do No Significant Harm” principle is checked. Gaps are turned into clear improvement headings.
What is assessed in the KPI and measurement infrastructure?
The impact KPI set, data sources, follow-up period, and reportability are reviewed together. The objective is to anchor impact in a regular and consistent measurement structure.
How does it connect to ComplianceIQ™ and Green Finance Suite™?
