Measure the overall impact of your business.
When a business takes responsibility for its impact and addresses some of the issues facing our world, something amazing happens.
The business not only benefits its stakeholders—its employees, communities, customers, suppliers, and the environment… but also creates value for the business itself. The first step to doing good is to measure all the positive things your business already does.
ASSETS provides a free service to measure and benchmark the social and environmental impact of your business.Measure What Matters
Areas to consider and continually improve upon include:
Equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Create a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplace through elevating the representation of people of color, anti-racism training, proactive learning to enhance allyship, and not only speaking out against racism but following through on verbal commitments with concrete actions.

Dealing ethically with our suppliers and making intentional purchasing decisions.
Respect our suppliers as true partners and use the influence of our buying power in order to favor local, ethical, and diversely-owned businesses.
