Impact Report August, 2016 | Page 4

A WORD FROM ANNA The impact of the work we do can be hard to measure using traditional social impact metrics. In acting as a catalyst, our work aims to trigger a ripple effect. Of course, the more dispersed the ripple becomes, the more challenging it is for us to directly attribute our involvement in any progress towards Australia’s low carbon future. Yet our ability to influence others who in turn, influence others, is precisely why our work is valued by our stakeholders.   Last year, with increasing evidence of our impact through our cycle of change, we felt ready to map the effectiveness of our work. This led to our most detailed qualitative and quantitative impact data analysis since we began in 2009. And so, we are pleased to present our first comprehensive impact report, outlining our activity and measurable outcomes over the past 18 months to which ClimateWorks has directly contributed. As we share these impacts with you, we also extend our heartfelt gratitude for the essential role you have played in making these significant wins happen. ANNA SKARBEK CEO - CLIMATEWORKS AUSTRALIA 4
