Trill Impact receives highest possible rating in BlueMarks Fund ID pilot program

Trill Impact has received the highest possible rating, Platinum, in BlueMark's Fund ID pilot program, independently verifying the extent of Trill Impact’s Private Equity strategy’s alignment with Impact Investing and ESG best practices.

BlueMark is a leading provider of independent impact verification and intelligence for the sustainable and impact investing market, whose verification methodologies draw on a range of industry standards, frameworks, and regulations. The Fund ID pilot is a newly established assessment and benchmarking tool that brings together best practice expectations across four key pillars of accountability – strategy, governance, management, and reporting – and is anchored in a broad range of industry standards and regulations such as Operating Principles for Impact Management, SDG Impact, Impact Frontiers Reporting Norms, Principles for Responsible Investment, SDR and SFDR.

The outputs of the assessment include an overall rating – Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze – calculated by the total scores earned across the four assessment pillars.*

Trill Impact’s Private Equity strategy received the Platinum rating, which is given to players that consistently employ leading practices and align with industry standards across the four assessment pillars mentioned above.

BlueMark has earlier also verified Trill Impact’s alignment with the Operating Principles for Impact Management, where Trill Impact also received the highest possible results in all applicable categories. BlueMark’s independent verification for 2023 can be found here.
