📣 THE LINKEDIN PAGE HAS CHANGED! Cerise is posting on Cerise+SPTF LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/social-performance-task-force Created in 1998, Cerise is a French non-profit organization working to find solutions for mission-driven organizations to make their social goals a reality. Website: https://cerise-spm.org/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CeriseSPM In 2001, Cerise pioneered the implementation of social performance management, collaborating with committed microfinance institutions to launch the Social Performance Indicators initiative. 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 Universal Standards, like all SPTF’s efforts, guide impact-driven financial service providers in making finance safer and more beneficial for low-income customers. As the developers and champions of interdependent and complementary tools and products, Cerise and SPTF formalized their cooperation in 2021. We now operate under a common strategic plan and a joint venture: Cerise+SPTF. We imagine institutions and financial systems, all over the world, that put the best interests of people and the planet at the center of every decision.
