Impact Measurement & Management Framework
The impact measurement and management framework underpinning Urbanova.
Every funder on the target list requires a contractual impact
framework, not narrative intent. The Company will operate an
IRIS+-aligned system with third-party annual verification, reported
quarterly to funders alongside financial covenants. The table sets out
the core indicator set and FY2031 targets.
| Impact indicator (IRIS+/SDG aligned) |
Baseline | FY2031 target | SDG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affordable units under management (<R8,000/month) | 0 | 20,000 | 11.1 |
| Residents housed (est. 2.6 persons/unit) | 0 | ~52,000 | 11.1 |
| Share of units let below R6,500/month | — | ≥55% | 10.2 |
| Female-headed tenant households | — | ≥40% | 5.a |
| Direct jobs (operations, FTE) | 0 | 514 | 8.5 |
| Construction job-years created | 0 | ~38,000 cumulative | 8.5 |
| Renewable share of portfolio energy | — | ≥45% | 7.2 |
| Water intensity vs municipal baseline | — | −30% | 6.4 |
| EDGE-certified share of portfolio (units) | — | ≥80% | 11.6 |
| B-BBEE procurement (% of construction spend) | — | ≥60% Level 1–4 suppliers | 8.3 |
| IMPACT-LINKED PRICING OPPORTUNITY Several target lenders (IFC, Proparco, DBSA) now offer sustainability-linked margin ratchets of 10–25bps against verified impact KPIs. On a R5.1bn senior book, a 15bps ratchet is worth roughly R7.5m per annum, material, free, and available only if the measurement framework above is contracted at financial close rather than retrofitted. |
