Creating your impact report
By Vested Impact | Published Dec 3, 2025
The following guide will help you create an impact report using the Vested Impact application.
1. Configuring business basics

-
Ensure your business name is correct. This should be pre-filled from when you signed up.
-
Select the correct industry. This helps the platform identify the most relevant business products, services and activities in the next stage of the assessment.
-
Provide a description of your products and services. This step helps us to automate the next stage and suggest activities that are relevant to the business.
-
Enter your primary country of operations and the number of employees.
-
Enter your latest annual growth and revenue metrics, or if you do not have available data feel free to select that the business is pre-revenue. NOTE: Financial data is never shared in impact reports and is used only in our back-end calculations to apply scaling relative to the size of the business.
2. Defining business operations

-
Select the relevant products, services and activities from the drop-down list. Any activity that accounts for less than 10% of the business’ total revenue is considered immaterial and should not be included. NOTE: If you are unable to find an activity that correctly captures your business operations, you can click the link on this page to submit a ticket which we will review.
-
Select all relevant countries of operation to be considered as part of the assessment.
3. Assigning weightings

-
Estimate and enter the percentage weight of each business activity, as a total proportion of all business activities. The weighting can represent either the percentage of revenue due to the activity or the percentage of business operations.
-
Within each activity check the country/market distribution. You can apply different geographic weightings within each activity and even remove a specific country from an activity.
4. Review and Confirm

-
Finally review the data you have entered to ensure it is correct before submitting the impact assessment. Once submitted your impact data should be ready within 5 minutes.
