Description
ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.
In this episode, Amanda Hsieh chats with Dr. Daryl Collins, CEO and Founder of Decodis. Decodis is a social research firm that creates tech-led, customized data capture and analysis to elevate the voices of vulnerable populations. Dr. Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors, and governments in the past two decades. Her work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals through the execution of Financial Diaries studies in over ten countries. She is the author of the acclaimed Portfolios of the Poor and a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability. Dr. Collins spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA Global, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice. She holds a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University.
Listen as Amanda and Dr. Collins focus on the ‘S’ in ESG as they discuss the importance of quantifying the real impact of CSR and social investment programs by impact investors and CSR leaders. For context, the name Decodis stems from the concept of ‘decoding discourse,’ which has a natural alignment with the name of this podcast! Dr. Collins describes the effect of tech-led listening as a way to better confirm our theories of change and optimize programs. She explains how we can move beyond tracking dollars and in-kind donations to understanding social programs' actual benefits.
