Cross-Sector
Cross-sector indicators are indicators that may be relevant to an organization regardless of sector. Within the cross-sector indicators there are sections with additional granularity, such as water used by the organization’s operations or the demographic break-out of the organization’s clients, which may only be useful to some organizations.

Agriculture
The agriculture indicators have been designed to capture many of the environmental aspects of agriculture practices as well as agricultural productivity performance measures. These indicators may be pertinent to organizations operating throughout the agricultural value chain. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Education
The education indicators have been designed to capture some of the core features of schools such as facilities, teachers, and student performance. These indicators are currently most pertinent to educational institutions. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Energy
The energy indicators have been designed to capture performance measures for products and services that seek to reduce energy consumption or conserve energy resources, such as energy efficient technologies or alternative energy producers. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Environment
The environment indicators have been designed to capture the performance of products and services that conserve natural resources, reduce threats to biodiversity, or reduce land- and air- based pollution. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Financial Services

These indicators are pertinent to microfinance institutions and community development finance institutions. The indicators that are denoted as financial services indicators are aligned with reporting standards that have been developed by the Social Performance Task Force, the Microfinance Information Exchange, and others. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Health
The health indicators have been designed to capture some common performance areas for health care facilities such as occupancy, utilization, and wait time. These indicators are currently most pertinent to hospitals and clinics. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Housing/Community Facilities
The housing and community facilities indicators have been designed to capture some of the core aspects of the development of these projects, including the percent of affordable housing and the use of green-building practices. Note: These indicators reflect a baseline set of indicators and will continue to evolve.

Water
The water indicators have been designed to capture the performance of products and services that conserve water, improve the quality of water, or increase the availability of quality water, such as water treatment or conservation devices and water storage and delivery mechanisms.

Renewable Energy Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. This includes electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, and hydrogen derived from renewable resources.

Revenue Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the ordinary activities of an organization when those inflows result in increases in equity, other than increases relating to contributions from equity participants. Revenue includes only the gross inflows of monies received and receivable by the organization on its own account. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes, goods and services taxes, and value added taxes are not economic benefits which flow to the entity and do not result in increases in equity. Therefore, they are excluded from revenue. Similarly, in an agency relationship, the gross inflows of economic benefits include amounts collected on behalf of the principal and which do not result in increases in equity for the entity. The amounts collected on behalf of the principal are not revenue. Instead, revenue is the amount of commission.

Solidarity Group Lending Solidarity Group lending refers to the use of groups for disbursement of funds and collection of repayment on loans to either the group as a whole or to the individual members of that group. Borrowers of such groups often bear joint and several liability for the repayment of all loans to the group and its members. This group liability may also determine credit decisions made by the institution. Solidarity Groups vary in the degrees to which they use groups for credit decisions, disbursement, collection, or to reduce credit risk. For this standard, loans are considered to be of the Solidarity Group methodology when some aspect of loan consideration depends on the group, including credit analysis, liability, guarantee, collateral, and loan size and conditions.

These loans are considered internal to the Village Bank or Self Help Group. Source: Microfinance Information Exchange

Conservation efforts include organizational or technological innovations that allow a defined process or task to consume water more efficiently. This includes improved water management practices, process redesign, the conversion and retrofitting of equipment (e.g., water-efficient equipment), or the elimination of unnecessary water use due to changes in behavior.

Water Quality Preserved Volume of water not used or treated sustainably through an installed septic system or storm water practices for new construction or renovation including bio-swales, pervious surfaces or water conservation practices (e.g., low flush toilets).
