Racial equity trainings are defined as those that explicitly focus on race and/or racism as a major factor in economic and social disparities in order to increase understanding of racism and its connection to financial markets.
Organizations are strongly encouraged to offer racial equity trainings (and many other types of trainings) in a series and on an ongoing basis—rather than in a single instance—in order to enable the reflection necessary for these to be successful. Further, while implicit bias trainings can form a useful part of antiracism trainings, such trainings should additionally aim to highlight both the systemic outcomes of implicit biases and actions that individuals and organizations can take to drive more equitable outcomes. For further guidance on racial equity trainings, see the Resources sections in the IRIS+ Racial Equity theme.
This metric aligns with the Corporate Racial Equity Alliance’s (https://corporateracialequityalliance.org/) Investor Blueprint for Racial Equity and CEO Blueprint for Racial Equity (https://corporateracialequityalliance.org/2021-blueprint).

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
