About

To strengthen trust in sustainable and impact investing by delivering independent, incisive verification services, enabling the market to scale with integrity. We believe impact verification is a key ingredient for establishing and maintaining trust between impact investors and their stakeholders and brings more accountability to the impact investment process as a whole.

Consistent with our goal of contributing to public education, and continued practitioner learning and improvement, we are committed to analyzing verification data and results, and publish research based on our sample set of verifications so that the impact investing field can learn from best practices and address shared challenges.

We believe a just society and a thriving natural world will only be achieved when the capital markets are mobilized at scale to address the symptoms and root causes of inequality, encompassing race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic factors, religion, cultural background, education level, and other systemic barriers. Our goal is to ensure that all individuals, irrespective of their backgrounds, status, or the diverse challenges they face, may prosper.

BlueMark was incubated and launched by Tideline, a leading women-owned impact investing consultancy who recognized that the next essential step in the market’s development was independent impact verification.
