Indicates whether the organization offers a product or service that disproportionately benefits women.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture whether a product specifically benefits women. To report against 2X Challenge requirements, organizations must report this metric in combination with one or more of the following metrics that detail how the product or service disproportionately benefits women: Client Individuals: Female (PI8330), Stakeholder Engagement (OI7914), Client Savings Premium (PI1748), Client Individuals: Provided New Access (PI2822), or Client Feedback System (OI5049). To fulfill 2X criteria, the selected metric(s) must clearly demonstrate that the product provides disproportionate benefit to women.
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).

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).
