Impact Monetisation

The Insights for Action seminar series explores how researchers and practitioners within and beyond Oxford are using research insights to drive social change.

In this seminar we will discuss impact monetisation, within the context of impact measurement. In response to the increasing demands of measuring social and environmental impact, there has been renewed interest in assigning monetary numbers to social and environmental value. With this comes a range of different approaches, choices, and consequences. Join Sam Vionnet, Founder of Valuing Impact, and Karim Harji, Director of the Oxford Impact Measurement Programme, with Marya Besharov, Academic Director of the Skoll Centre, as for a timely and provocative discussion on monetizing and valuing impact.

Karim Harji is the Programme Director of the Oxford Impact Measurement Programme at the Said Business School, University of Oxford, where he also teaches in the Impact Investing and Impact Finance Innovations executive programmes.
