MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

At hivve, we believe that robust, high-quality impact reporting is more critical now than ever before, especially in light of today’s urgent sustainability challenges. As businesses and institutions face increasing scrutiny, both from stakeholders and the public, the need for credible, transparent, and verified data has never been greater. In an era of greenwashing and climate emergencies, impact reporting isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential to ensuring that organisations contribute positively to society and the environment.

Our mission at hivve is to empower organisations to measure, analyse, and report their impact, enabling future investments and decisions to be directed toward generating positive, sustainable change. We are committed to embedding impact reporting across industries globally, recognising that accurate and transparent reporting is the foundation for building a more sustainable world.

With over a decade of expertise, we continue to lead conversations around impact reporting, helping organisations to not only track their social, environmental, and economic impact, but also to align with key global frameworks, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our cutting-edge technology solutions make it easier for organisations to validate their contributions and enhance their reputations by showcasing genuine progress toward a sustainable future.

Our goal is to enable more people and organisations to identify, validate, and communicate their impact—driving prosperity while ensuring that economic growth doesn’t come at the expense of the environment or society. Together, we can build a better, more sustainable world for all.

Let’s continue driving change, responsibly and sustainably.

Tales from the Archivve – an Abridged History

hivve’s journey began in 2009, and evolved from Vertigo Ventures – which should answer your questions on the double v.

Initially we worked with social enterprises to help report the benefits of their work before moving into the pharmaceutical space to assist with sustainability benchmarking. Next we launched our flagship SaaS product, ImpactTracker, in 2014 to support the nascent regulatory requirements around impact in the higher education sector.

The adoption of impact reporting grew rapidly within the higher education space. It now features heavily in many government-led assessments around the world, such as the United Kingdom and Hong Kong where it is directly linked to funding for universities and research institutions, Australia where it is vital to securing national reputation, and Norway and Sweden, where it plays a formative role in changing institutional ways of working.

This highly-regulated environment created a host of challenges for higher education – suddenly they needed to facilitate culture change, introduce impact-first thinking, and collect huge volumes of relevant evidence to prove their impact claims. Working with our clients, we developed the core ImpactEcosystem technology to make this entire process as simple, secure and reliable and possible. In this time we have also developed an extensive taxonomy of impact indicators, helping you to select and track the metrics that matter to you.

The success of this model led to our deployment of this technology in countries around the world, and now we are applying these learnings around managing impact in highly-regulated environments to corporate sectors.
