Employment, enterprise, and inclusion

Social Impact

A future measurement framework for jobs, local-employment commitments, SME outcomes, insurance inclusion, and client-to-entrepreneur pathways.

Social claims require consistent definitions, beneficiary evidence, and safeguards against double counting. The 70% South African employment policy remains a proposed commitment for supported companies.

Reporting narrative

Local employment

Measure workforce composition with lawful, privacy-respecting records and report exceptions or remediation.

Enterprise outcomes

Track businesses funded or supported, survival, revenue, employment, and supplier participation.

Financial inclusion

Measure insurance clients, claims settlement, SME funding, and client-to-entrepreneur conversions.

Methodology

How evidence should be reported

  1. 01Define direct, indirect, supported, temporary, and permanent jobs.
  2. 02Avoid counting the same job or beneficiary across multiple programs.
  3. 03Use cohort-based SME survival and outcome reporting.
  4. 04Verify inclusion data through operating records and appropriate independent review.

Build an evidence-backed impact partnership.
