Annual SIK Seminar on New Standards for Impact Measurement and Reporting

Today, representatives from EWB-SWE's Secretariat attended the annual seminar organised by Swedish Fundraising Control / Svensk Insamlingskontroll, focusing on impact measurement and the new standards guiding this for our work important area. Held at the IVA Conference Centre in Stockholm, the seminar covered a range of topics vital to ensuring accountability and transparency in non-profit reporting.

Key insights were shared by Erik Lundbom from Verian on public awareness of 90-accounts, and Johan Sverker from Sverker & Sverker, who presented the new Swedish standard for measuring social and environmental impacts. Emelie Joachimsson from Effektfullt discussed how this standard influences reporting outcomes, especially in financial and impact reports.

The session also featured a panel discussion where best practices were exchanged, including the award-winning annual report from ALEF’s Adam Bott. The event closed with a moving presentation from Bo Wallenberg of Skandinaviska Barnmissionen, highlighting the critical work in delivering aid to war-affected children and families in Ukraine.

We found the seminar both interesting and inspiring. At EWB-SWE, we share the view that setting and following up on impact goals is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of our operations, both for our national activities and international projects. We are committed to contributing to positive and long-term change in the communities where we are active.

We will post the presentations from the seminar here when they are are distributed.
