Cross Border Impact Ventures used Harvest’s platform to simplify portfolio data collection, reduce reporting fatigue, and strengthen impact analysis across diverse global health investments.

Challenge

CBIV needed a streamlined way to collect ESG and impact data from a growing portfolio of global health companies.

Many of these companies lacked dedicated sustainability teams or resources for extensive reporting, making manual data collection time-consuming and inconsistent. CBIV sought a solution that would ease the reporting burden for investees while improving the quality and usability of the data.

Solution

Harvest’s platform helped CBIV to:

  • Design ESG requests aligned with the capabilities and context of each portfolio company.
  • Automate data collection and reduce back-and-forth with portfolio companies.
  • Tailor data requests to different portfolio company sizes and stages, improving response rates and relevance.
  • Consolidate data into a central dashboard for efficient analysis and insight-sharing with stakeholders.

With Harvest, CBIV simplified the ESG reporting process, strengthened data consistency across their portfolio, and gained clearer visibility into the real-world impact of their investments.

Impact

  • Portfolio-wide ESG and impact data collection made significantly more efficient.
  • Improved response quality from companies with limited reporting resources.
  • Streamlined workflows reduced burden on internal and external teams.
  • Clearer insights to support CBIV’s global health and gender equity goals.
