## About

Based in Hampshire, UK, and founded in 2019 by CEO Kimberley Abbott, Vested Impact Ltd., a.k.a. Vested Impact operates as a provider of a data platform that focuses on delivering automated impact assessments for businesses, enterprises, and asset managers, focusing on the societal and environmental outcomes of their operations and products. In October 2024, Vested Impact raised GBP 1.1 million in venture funding led by Impact Shakers Ventures, with participation from HeartsLab.

Vested Impact's primary offering is an automated impact assessment platform designed to evaluate the outward impact of businesses on people and the planet, distinguishing it from traditional ESG evaluations that focus inward on operational metrics. By utilizing an algorithm that leverages over 300 million science-based articles and impact data points, Vested Impact assesses the impact of a business’s products and services with precision. The platform is designed for a varied clientele, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), large corporations, and asset managers, and is particularly useful for those aiming to meet regulatory requirements such as CSRD and CSDDD.

Vested Impact generates revenue through subscription-based access to its platforms tailored for SMEs, large enterprises, and asset managers. Pricing starts from GBP 399 for SMEs, with custom pricing for enterprise and pro platforms.

The company plans to use its proceeds from October 2024 funding to accelerate its sustainability market.
