IMPACT FINANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY

Impact Units

Impact Units provide a structured pathway connecting sustainability support with an eligible local project, field delivery, traceable evidence, monitoring, reporting and appropriate assurance. They are not automatically carbon credits, securities or independently verified claims.

1 · ORDER OR ALLOCATE

Define the intended support

Record the supporter, quantity, programme or project purpose, applicable price or contribution terms, and agreed reporting boundary.

2 · APPROVE THE INTERVENTION

Connect units to eligible local delivery

MDF reviews the proposed project, community role, safeguards, budget, activities and implementation responsibility before treating support as allocated.

3 · IMPLEMENT & EVIDENCE

Record real field delivery

Responsible teams record approved activities, locations, species or intervention type, quantities, dates, photographs and supporting evidence.

4 · MONITOR & REPORT

Follow results over the agreed period

Monitoring records progress, survival or relevant indicators, corrective action, expenditure and community benefits according to the applicable project methodology.

5 · REVIEW OR VERIFY

State assurance accurately

Reported, reviewed and independently verified results remain clearly distinguished. Verification applies only where an authorized verifier has completed an agreed scope.
