Impact advisory
/w=3840,quality=90,fit=scale-down)
We partner with a wide range of stakeholders to create solutions that embed impact into strategic decisions.
Incumbents across industries are being questioned about their role in promoting a sustainable future. This shift requires a gradual integration of impact in strategic decisions for both corporates, governments, foundations, and civil society leaders. Impact advisory is the tool that we adopt to identify material challenges that our partners are facing, to inform how we devise adequate solutions that serve their specific needs.
Strategic support
Maze has supported corporates, foundations and public sector entities in establishing impact strategies. This work is always informed by a diagnostic exercise, which encompasses user research, stakeholder listening, and benchmarking.
We have helped the Portuguese Government set-up a €150 million impact investment catalyst institution: Portugal Inovação Social.
For 10 years, we have partnered with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in promoting the impact investment ecosystem in Portugal and Europe.
Impact management and reporting
Maze helps partners in structuring their impact work through the Impact Management Project, a set of norms widely adopted globally. This work leads to the set-up of reporting frameworks for corporates, which are coupled with capacity-building for internal teams.
We have coordinated the establishment of the National Strategy for Impact Investment in Portugal for 2014-2020 and 2021-2030.
For the past years, we have partnered with PLMJ in framing their sustainability reporting which monitors progress against pre-established goals.
Working with maze has contributed to reshape the value we add to our stakeholders – internally and externally – on impact and responsible business. Bruno Ferreira, Managing Partner at PLMJ
