Investment Committee Members: Total (OI7829)

This metric is intended to capture the number of members of an investment committee, the governing body charged with overseeing investments and developing investment policies for board approval.

Most, but not all investor organizations have investment committees. If the organization does not have a formalized investment committee, organizations should apply this metric to whatever group of individuals that makes investment decisions.

This metric, reported along with Target Stakeholder Demographic (PD5752) to specify historically marginalized groups due to race and/or ethnicity, aligns with the Corporate Racial Equity Alliance’s (https://corporateracialequityalliance.org/) Investor Blueprint for Racial Equity.

This metric is multi-dimensional with regard to the five dimensions of impact. It may help describe the WHO dimension when the stakeholder group represented by the metric is the stakeholder group targeted by the investment or organization. It may also help measure the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
