Measuring Shared Value

How do companies measure the effectiveness of their shared value strategies? Measuring Shared Value: How to Unlock Value by Linking Social and Business Results, a new report by Michael E. Porter and FSG, supported by Nestlé, Intel, InterContinental Hotels Group, and the Rockefeller Foundation, answers this question through highlighting a dozen examples of leading companies applying shared value measurement practices.

The report identifies the key steps in the shared value measurement methodology and explores how to:

• Anchor measurement in strategy
• Unlock value from shared value measurement
• Distinguish the purpose of shared value measurement from established CSR/sustainability and social impact measurement approaches
• Deliver new insights to investors from shared value measurement
• Apply pragmatic approaches for tackling shared value measurement execution challenges

Measuring Shared Value provides a road map for business leaders to refine and amplify shared value creation.
