Impact pioneers who trust in leonardo

leonardo provides a user-friendly, verified, and easy to understand solution to measuring and reporting on our projects and the impact we are contributing to in the neediest communities globally. You don't have to be a stats genius or IMM expert anymore to understand your impact and to create transparency both internally and externally. I couldn't imagine scaling our IMM work without this exact kind of solution.

Dr. Andrea Abel van Es

Director of Impact at Energy Peace Partners

Working with leonardo revealed a new level of impact insights through gaining access to data from stakeholders while also holding the potential for automating tedious ESG data collection and reporting tasks. Using technology for this combination of regular ESG reporting as well as analysing impact depth is unique and much needed.

By streamlining impact data collection, verification, and reporting, leonardo empowers organisations to confidently showcase and reflect their impact, attract investors, and drive meaningful change. With leonardo, you're not just measuring impact; you're making it.

Dr. Julian Frede

Venture Partner at evolutiq impact advisory

We have chosen leonardo as our trusted solution for monitoring & evaluation because they bring together domain expertise in scientific impact measurement; vast experience in collecting meaningful data in challenging contexts; and a data-driven technology platform that helps us to draw insights from the data.

Jakob Øster

Founder and Executive Director

As a mission-driven company, Husk Power Systems wants better visibility into the impact we are having on the communities we are electrifying in rural Africa and Asia. This would better inform our own strategy, but also enable us to more easily monitor, measure, and report impact and ESG performance for ourselves, our investors, governments, and other key external stakeholders. leonardo's platform is providing us a pathway to doing that. Their hands-on approach and responsiveness have been instrumental in making significant progress.

William Brent

Chief Marketing Officer

The leonardo impact study not only meets the needs of our various stakeholders, but also empowers us to take action beyond reporting. We gained some interesting insights through the interactive dashboard. For instance, disaggregating by sex revealed a stark contrast: females in the business sector exhibit significantly lower life satisfaction compared to males. Such nuanced findings are not possible from static reports.

Marian Grabowski

Head of Technical Assistance & Strategic Partnerships

Often, companies decide to focus on in-house solutions or external verifiers of impact, but leonardo enables the best of both worlds because they empower companies to efficiently collect data and learn from it while also ensuring high data quality and verification through training, automated processes and tech-enabled audits.

Spencer MacColl

Director of Impact Measurement

leonardo empowers not only us, but also our investees to generate and use impact data at scale. Through their interactive dashboards, data becomes actionable and can be used far beyond reporting.

I fell in love with impact measurement when I experienced its challenges hands on in rural Mali, as I spoke to people receiving first time energy access. I started a PhD on the topic at TU Munich and founded leonardo to help impact investors solve data availability and quality challenges.
