ESG alignment brief · for sustainability teams

Where RippleCore data lands in your ESG reporting

A mapping of the platform's recorded measures onto the frameworks institutions actually report against. RippleCore supplies the "S" — recorded social activity — with quantities a reviewer can trace to individual records.

Framework	Where it fits	RippleCore measure
UK Social Value Model (PPN 06/20)	MAC 3.1–4.2 community themes	National TOMs CSV export (NT-28 hours, act counts)
GRI 413	Local community engagement	Acts, participation %, partner hours by locality
CSRD / ESRS S3	Affected communities — actions & outcomes	Recorded acts + measured multiplication (not modelled)
University civic missions	Service-learning evidence	Per-member verified-hours statements

The one honest caveat

Monetised figures remain DRAFT until licensed TOMs proxy values are applied; quantities are exact today. Nothing here claims assurance — it claims traceability, which is what your assurer will ask for first.

Circles side by side, Q3 2026

Cross-tenant comparison for the platform operator. Per-circle detail stays in each circle's own reports; this sheet carries aggregates only.

Circle	Members	Acts (90d)	Multiplication	Participation	Vol. hours
FGCU	128	67	2.4×	78%	7
RippleCore Commons	2,412	214	1.7×	31%	—
Bath Hockey Club	86	54	2.1×	64%	12
Riverside Rotary	41	0	—	—	—

Reading the spread

Safeguarded circles out-multiply the commons — trust density beats audience size
Riverside's dashes are honest: archived circles report nothing rather than zeros that read as failure
The Kindness Cup pair (FGCU/Bath) shows rivalry lifting both sides' participation

Engagement cohorts · retention report

Do members who get inspired, stay?

Members grouped by their first-month experience, tracked to six months. The platform's core claim — inspiration drives retention — tested against its own records.

First-month cohort	Members	Active at 3mo	Active at 6mo
Inspired someone (chain started)	26	92%	88%
Logged, never inspired	57	71%	63%
Joined, never logged	45	38%	22%

What this changes

The gap between the first two rows is the product's argument in retention form: getting a member's act rippled once is worth more than ten reminder emails. Onboarding should chase the first inspiration, not the first log.

Chain provenance · one ripple, fully traced

Chain chn_7x2k — 7 links, 3 towns, 11 days

#	Act	Member	Where	When	Lag
0	Pollinator beds cleared	Casey M.	Fort Myers	Aug 3	—
1	Advising-appointment walk	Alex R.	FGCU campus	Aug 3	6h
2	Library sticky notes	Jordan L.	Estero	Aug 5	2d
3	Free little pantry	Morgan B.	Cape Coral	Aug 8	3d
4–6	Three further linked acts	3 members	various	Aug 9–14	1–2d

Why provenance matters

Each row is a stored inspiration_source link written when the member tapped "I was inspired" — visibility-gated at write time, derived live at read time. A funder auditing the 2.4× multiplier can pull any chain and see exactly this table. Private quick acts in a chain appear as counts without identity.
