We were born from the coming together of like-minded professionals that believed we needed to accelerate sustainable development and respond to the socio-economic and environmental pressures that are demanding greater accountability and transparency from businesses and investors.
However, we felt that the focus was often skewed toward the
environmental, social and governance or ESG risks a business may face, and not the actual impact they have on the
environment and societies in which they operate. we believe that ESG risk together with SDG impact will better determine a company’s legitimacy and license to operate; and so set out innovate. Paragon + Impact was established to address these limitations of traditional ESG ratings and improve how the tangible impact is measured and rated. Through this approach, we hope to enable informed decisions that focus foremost on the sustainability of our planet and its people, alongside sustainable economic growth.
Being impact-driven is deeply ingrained in our DNA as we are dedicated to leveraging our expertise and tools to create tangible and lasting positive outcomes.
