Travel Impact Lab helps you to improve your business’ social, economic and environmental performance through Impact Measurement and Management (IMM).We have created an impact process and framework and use sustainability reporting frameworks and standards relevant to the Travel and Tourism industry.

We support the participating start-ups in defining the impact strategy and materiality topics, setting the targets and KPIs, and collecting data to measure, manage, report, and improve.

We combine the effective outcome-based techniques and principles of impact measurement (e.g. Theory of Change, the Five dimensions of Impact) with our knowledge, expertise, experience, global network and funding to contribute to the success and sustainable growth of the start-ups.
