10 By and for people in the field The Universal Standards were created by financial institutions, networks, investors and other stakeholders around the world, who identified the need and worked together to create a common resource.

11 To whom do the Universal Standards apply? The Universal Standards are a resource for financial institutions seeking to achieve social goals. The Universal Standards do not dictate what a financial institution s goals should be, but help identify the best way to achieve them.

12 Comprehensive manual of best practices By and for people in the field Resource for achieving social goals Credibility for institutions & industry Realistic implementation process

13 There are 19 standards, organized into six dimensions. They incorporate learning from many initiatives in our sector.

14 Hierarchy within the Universal Standards Dimensions The six main categories of management activity by which the manual is organized.

20 Introduction to the CERISE Social Performance Indicators (SPI) 4 1. Learn 2. Assess 3. Plan 4. Implement 5. Report

21 Why is it important to assess social. performance management? Without assessment, it is virtually impossible to identify all areas of weakness. Assessment facilitates effective action planning based on the results. Several assessments allow an institution to track its progress over time. Improved SPM helps the institution to achieve its mission.

22 What is the SPI4? The common data collection and assessment tool for the Universal Standards for SPM A social audit tool that allows financial institutions to analyze their current SPM practices in a way that fits their budget and preferences A customizable tool that can be tailored to the institution s mission through optional modules on poverty, gender, and environment A reporting tool

23 What the SPI4 is not: A rating Something you can do in a couple of hours Expensive

24 The SPI4 evaluates the Universal Standards based on indicators Dimensions Standards Essential Practices Indicators Evaluate an MFI s level of implementation of the essential practices.

25 SPI4 Example: Indicators for Essential Practice 5a.1 Essential Practice 5a1 A written HR policy is available to all employees. Indicator 5a1.1 All employees have access to an upto-date copy of the HR policy. Indicator 5a1.2 The HR policy is compliant with national labor laws.
