The paper, produced by the OECD and the European Commission, presents current issues and debates on social impact measurement and provides concrete examples of measurement methods. It emphasizes the concept of proportional measurement, in other words, balancing the costs and benefits of the measurement process. The policy brief also examines guidelines and resources for use by social enterprises and how to create a more widespread measurement culture among stakeholders, despite often limited human and financial resources.
