Payment Apps Score Well At Impaakt While Banks Lose Points Over Fossil Fuel Funding

Earlier this month I wrote about Impaakt, a Swiss startup that aims to improve the way corporations are rated for their impact on people, such as financial inclusion, diversity and job creation, and their impact on the environment — pollution, water consumption, waste.

It also has innovated on the evaluation process, using a small central staff with reporting from 600 professional contributors around the world. Their reports are then put before 50,000 trained volunteer raters who score companies from +5 to -5 in a crowdfunding exercise.
