ASSESSMENT OF POSITIVE IMPACTS

Support meaningful projects and assess their impact

POSITIVE IMPACTS ANALYSIS

At WE DO GOOD, we believe in the potential for transforming society through committed economic players, keen to combine a viable economic model with strong social or environmental ambitions.

For all the projects presented on the platform, the WE DO GOOD impact committee analyzes the information communicated by the project leaders in the “Positive impacts” part of their presentation. We validate or not the attribution of badges of economic, social or environmental impact on the basis of the various issues raised.

To obtain a badge, the project must provide a direct response, measurable (or justified for the internal impacts of the company engaged) and detailed on the impacts below.

Projects with positive impacts are highlighted and benefit from additional promotion in communication.

The impact assessment was revised in early 2021. Projects that have already started fundraising have not been evaluated on the same basis. More specifically, the “committed company” badge did not exist, the commitments of the companies it includes were directly validated as economic, social or environmental impacts.

ASSESSMENT BY INVESTORS

The opinions of potential investors, the WE DO GOOD community and all Internet users count for each project.

You too can participate in the evaluation of the impacts of projects, via their presentation page. When a project is in the evaluation phase before its fundraising, it is possible to assign a score for each impact, to provide any comments, and all this in 2 minutes!

This evaluation allows project leaders to improve their presentation, by providing details on subjects that do not seem clear from the point of view of their evaluators. It can also give them ideas to improve their economic, social and environmental impact afterwards.
