Amount of the product/service produced by the organization during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture the amount of a product that has been manufactured or cultivated by the organization during the reporting period.
Organizations that sell different types of products/services should consider reporting separately against each different product/service.
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).
