Cerise+SPTF is a joint venture of two leading global organizations dedicated to #social and #environmental performance management—a way of doing business that puts #people and the #planet at the center of every decision. 

Founded in 2005, the Social Performance Task Force, or SPTF, developed, and regularly updated, the Universal Standards for Social and Environmental Performance Management. First issued in 2012, the #UniversalStandards, like all SPTF’s efforts, guide impact-driven #FinancialService providers in making finance safer and more beneficial for low-income customers. As a membership organization, SPTF has more than 4,900 participating individuals from every region of the world. 

Cerise, a French non-profit organization created in 1998, pioneered the implementation of social performance management, working with committed microfinance institutions to launch the Social Performance Indicators initiative in 2001 (SPI Online today). As a social innovator, Cerise works with actors in #InclusiveFinance, #SocialBusiness, and #ImpactInvesting to co-create social standards and social #assessment #tools that are free to all. Cerise also offers fee-based consultancy services to all types of impact-driven organizations, equipping them with the skills and tools they need to define and achieve their impact goals.

Cerise+SPTF believes in the power of getting started. Wherever you are on your social and environmental performance management journey—curious, unsure where to start, stuck on a certain point, or determined to grow from good to great— we will meet you where you are. And we will bring the tools you need to succeed.
