Our Process

  • Our partnership begins with an initial onboarding process, executed through a series of digital requests to gather essential business information. A kick-off meeting will then be scheduled to set the objectives of the report, and to review the processes and timelines, ensuring alignment and clarity from the outset.

  • We can collect up to 200 data points strategically aligned with local, national, and global sustainability standards and relevant to your business and industry. HMK Impact will curate a tailored list of indicators that best fit your business and will consult with your team to identify additional points relevant to your industry and organization.

These discussions are crucial in gaining deeper insights and understanding the qualitative aspects of your impact to craft a narrative that highlights your unique initiatives and provided experiences.

  • Once all data has been compiled, HMK will draft an outline and storyboard for the Impact Report. This draft will be presented to you during a meeting, where adjustments to the report’s scope and objectives can be made. Additional data collection may be required based on this review.

  • HMK will then produce the first draft of the Impact Report. This draft is reviewed by you, and can be revised up to two times without any additional costs, ensuring that the final product accurately reflects your impact.

  • Upon final approval, the completed Impact Report is submitted.

  • Following the delivery, you have the option to engage further with our team for additional consultation.
