Webinar

We’ve completed thousands of impact measurement projects globally, across a variety of sectors including financial inclusion, off-grid energy, and agriculture. By asking standardized questions to end-users across the board, we are able to provide genuine benchmarks on impact performance and enable organizations to understand impact relative to peers. As a natural next step, we wanted to acknowledge and celebrate all those achieving a top score for their social performance within our Benchmarks.

What are the 60dB Social Impact Awards?

The 60 Decibels Social Impact Awards exist to publicly recognize the organizations generating the most impact within their sector. They serve as a way to highlight the organizations whose product or service are top ranked across different impact metrics according to end-users themselves. This in turn creates a ‘north star’ to inspire others in the sector and guide thinking for performance targets and improved organizational efficiency.

Congratulations to all award recipients, listed in full below. Your customers have spoken: you’re delivering some of the best impact in the industry relative to your peers. This recognition is testament to the impact you have generated for underserved communities within your sector, and the hard work of your team. We can’t wait to see this list grow!
