Aspire Impact, under the aegis of the Impact Future Project (IFP), a thought-leadership platform supported by global tech giant Capgemini, has launched a groundbreaking report on the evolving role of Chief Impact Officers and their potential influence on organizations. This research publication is a first-of-its kind effort to understand, define and champion adoption of this crucial C-suite role.

The Rise of Chief Impact Officer – Report by Aspire Impact

As a comprehensive deep dive into the Chief Impact Officer’s role the report features direct voices and opinions from 25 global ESG, Sustainability, and Impact leaders from varied organization types and sectors across 10 countries and 6 continents. The thorough inquiry offered 12+ insights and trends based on responses to an online survey and a series of in-depth interviews, which explored the need, readiness, role, skills, key performance indicators, and future prospect of the role.

As we approach pivotal milestones like 2030 and, subsequently, the 2050 goals, the role of a Chief Impact Officer emerges as crucial. As each Chief Impact Officer contributes to transformative solutions within their organizations, a network of socially conscious leadership should emerge that is collectively equipped to steer capitalism towards a more responsible and sustainable path.

Organizations must heed the following key implications: Firstly, there is an urgent need for organizations to recognize, prioritize, and formalize the Chief Impact Officer role-an imperative supported by 95% of survey respondents. Secondly, appointment of Chief Impact Officers are driven by an investor-led movement, with a growing demand for transparency and disclosures on ESG, Sustainability, and Impact data and its linkage to financial performance. Thirdly, above all else, this role demands collaboration and consensus-building, given the possibility of encountering opposition from other CXOs, an apprehension highlighted by as many as 67% of the participants. Many participants in the research believed in and pressed the necessity to derive authority from the CEO and the Board.

Delving further into the expectations and responsibilities associated with this position, the research reveals a notable transformative trend. 33% of respondents recognize the triple bottom line as a critical focus, with a substantial emphasis (52%) on integrating Impact into corporate values and culture. Chief Impact Officers play pivotal roles in developing long-term transformation plans for total impact performance, achieving net-zero/circularity/SDG targets, and measuring and managing overall impact. The report underscores the imperative for CIOs to possess a profound understanding of the interplay between ESG, Sustainability, and Impact to formulate effective strategies that lead to positive organizational and societal outcomes. Additionally, the report emphasizes the need for extensive research, ample content, and pedagogy to prepare existing CSOs/ESG Heads, enabling them to confidently transition to the role of Chief Impact Officer and guide their boards and corporations into the era of Impact Capitalism and Impact Accounting.

Amit Bhatia, Founder & CEO, Aspire Impact, emphasized the urgency of creating the Chief Impact Officer role, stating, “While 42% of Fortune Global 500 companies have made commitments to reduce emissions by 2030 and 25% have adopted net-zero targets, only a handful have a Chief Impact Officer. There cannot be a better time to push a stronger business case for creating this role and thus a new cadre of protagonists who can catalyze, inspire, integrate, and orchestrate impact.”

Solera launches industry-first solution for insurers to meet growing sustainability needs and offset emissions

One of the standout features of Sustainable Estimatics’ is its ability to effectively address scope three emissions, which are notoriously hard to measure

Solera Inc (“Solera“), the leading global provider of vehicle lifecycle management software-as-a-service (SaaS), data, and services, published research involving 10,000 drivers from the UK, France, Australia, Germany, and Spain, showing that 75% would switch to insurers offering greener policies.

Introducing Soleras Sustainable Estimatics Suite

An additional worldwide survey of decision-makers in the auto insurance industry reveals that providers are facing a storm of challenges, not only in meeting the sustainable demand but also in managing new ESG regulations.

To tackle these challenges, Solera has introduced ‘Sustainable Estimatics‘, an industry-first carbon tracking tool enabling insurers to track and offset the carbon emissions linked to the end-to-end customers claims process.

Chris Iacovou, Managing Director, Solera APAC, said, “With one of the worlds largest AI-powered claims databases, were excited to introduce Sustainable Estimatics. This innovative tool is designed to address the urgent sustainability demands facing insurers, not merely as a compliance checkbox but as a way to help them provide customers with more competitive, green premiums.”

Rising tide of sustainable choices in India among consumers
In recent years, sustainability has been a growing concern for Indian consumers with 20% of consumers being environmentally and socially conscious while 49% are health conscious. In fact, Indian consumers are willing to pay an over 20 percent premium for ‘sustainable products’, the highest figure across 11 countries as against the average of 12 percent.

High time for corporates in India to focus on Scope 3 emissions
According to a report by CDP, a global non-profit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states, and regions noted that the share of Scope 3 emissions in India increased from 15% in 2020 to 38% in 2021, reiterating the importance of engaging supply and value chain partners in decarbonization strategies. The magnitude and growth trajectory of Scope 3 emissions as evidenced over the years reinforces how critical it is for companies to influence their value chain partners, amplifying their climate impact and making rapid and meaningful strides towards decarbonization goals.

However, one of the most challenging sustainability metrics to monitor is indeed Scope 3 emissions. Research reveals that only just over half (53%) of auto insurers worldwide currently measure scope three emissions.

Iacovou, emphasised, “One of the ‘Sustainable Estimatics’ standout features is its ability to effectively address scope 3 emissions, which are notoriously hard to measure. By assisting insurers in measuring and mitigating these emissions, Sustainable Estimatics is helping create a greener future.”

Ian Thompson Group Chief Claims Officer, Zurich Insurance in support of Solera’s research says, The ability to measure the CO2 impact of any claims settlement will be an essential requirement for companies moving forward. Being truly sustainable is one of the key drivers behind Zurich’s claims management globally. We dont just settle claims – we do it with a sustainable mindset, ensuring that our customers recover in a way that protects the environment and builds resilience for the future, but also that our supply partners adhere to the same sustainability goals.

An industry-first tool to support
To address the demands and challenges faced by insurers, Solera is introducing an industry-first product, Sustainable Estimatics. This tool enables insurers to measure and use data to reduce the carbon emissions (CO2e) tied to their complete auto claims process, with a primary focus on scope 3 emissions, which are the hardest to measure. It features a unique algorithm developed by Solera, standardising the measurement of CO2e emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of auto claims.

In practice, this tool assesses CO2 emissions and provides insurers with valuable insights for their carbon footprint reduction initiatives. For example, it allows insurers to compare the CO2 emissions associated with repairing car parts versus replacing them, enabling well-informed decision-making.

Solera has also achieved ISO 14064 for auto claims, further validating the methodology and technology used to secure verified carbon emissions data and supporting efforts to mitigate or offset emissions.

Solera in India
Since 2006, Solera has been transforming the auto insurance industry with its solutions from Audatex. Solera recently introduced its new AI-powered digital triage (digital FNOL) and collision repair estimating suites in India.

Solera India is headquartered in New Delhi, with offices in other major cities across the country.

Notes to editors
Solera commissioned independent market research company, Censuswide, to survey a nationally representative sample of 10,053 drivers across the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Australia between 25th August and 1st September 2023.

These guardian figures, both male and female, hold energy-filled spheres in their paws, creating a sense of protection and vibrancy throughout the restaurant. On the other hand, the third Private Dining Room unveils the captivating “Nymph of The Luo River,” an ancient masterpiece that acts as a poetic thread, weaving through the artistic treasures of the restaurant. Together, these spaces seamlessly merge, forming an expansive private party area.

Immerse yourself in the refined details that define Jades interiors – custom hand-painted gold-leafed wallpapers, sophisticated brass handles, and oriental jalis adorning doors and mirrors.

This moment marks the commencement of a culinary resurrection, where Jade, with its storied legacy of delighting our esteemed guests, re-emerges in a breath-taking new incarnation.
