It feels good to do good. We're here to define what good means.
The Problem
The global impact investing market has reached $1.6 trillion. Yet the infrastructure to independently verify a single claim barely exists.
Only 27% of impact investors use third-party verification of results. (GIIN State of the Market, 2024)
84% say verifying impact data from investees is "challenging." (GIIN State of the Market, 2024)
One third of Article 8 funds have not a single sustainable investment, yet carry ESG credentials. (Morningstar SFDR data, Q1 2024)
Imagine a restaurant giving itself five stars, without letting anyone check the kitchen. That is impact investing today.
What We Do
GroundTruth audits the physical and biological reality behind impact claims — not framework compliance. Every assessment answers two questions:
Impact Validity: Are the metrics real? Additional to what would have happened anyway? Correctly attributed to this investment?
Impact Durability: Is the company financially robust enough that the claimed impact will actually materialise over the investment horizon?
Our Products
Deep Assessment — CHF 10–25K per report
Pre-investment, single-company verification session. Structured protocol, science-backed framework, deliverable report. Know what you are buying before the wire.
Compliance Autopilot — CHF 75–150K / year
Automated dashboard for SFDR/CSRD impact reporting. Replaces months of manual work with automated data collection, verification checks, and gap flagging.
Our Methodology (GIMF)
The Ground Truth Impact Measurement Framework (GIMF) is open-source and peer-reviewed. Revenue comes from execution, not a proprietary black box. The same model that gave BeZero Carbon and Isometric their credibility. Three core tests:
Additionality: Would this impact have happened without the investment?
Durability: Does the company have the financial strength to deliver it?
Attribution: Is the impact correctly credited to this capital?
