What does the Social Impact Report actually measure?
The report scores your art collection across multiple dimensions of social impact: gender representation among artists, geographic and cultural diversity, career stage at time of acquisition, Indigenous representation, and thematic alignment with your institutional ESG pillars. Each dimension is mapped to GRI 405, UN SDG, WELL v2, and BOMA BEST frameworks with quantified metrics.
How does an art collection contribute to WELL Building Standard certification?
WELL v2 requires meaningful integration of public art as a precondition (M02). Beyond that, a governed art collection contributes 18 to 36 optimization points across six WELL concepts: Mind (restorative spaces, biophilic design), Community (public gallery access, civic engagement), Materials (conservation-grade environments), and Light and Sound (gallery-standard conditions). WELL Gold requires 60 points total. The report produces M02 Professional Narrative, density assessment, and point capture summary for your WELL consultant.
What frameworks does the report cover?
Four standards: GRI 405 (Diversity and Equal Opportunity), UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 5, 10, 11, 16), WELL v2 Building Standard, and BOMA BEST. Output is formatted for direct inclusion in each framework's reporting requirements.
Do we need a fully catalogued collection before starting?
No. Title works with whatever records you have, including spreadsheets, legacy databases, or physical files. If your collection needs cataloguing first, the team handles that as part of the engagement before analysis begins.
How is the report used in ESG reporting?
The report produces ready-to-cite output: scored metrics, draft narratives, and data tables your ESG team can use directly in sustainability reports, annual disclosures, and certification submissions. Every finding is presented as a strength or positive trajectory, framed as an advocacy document for your institution.
What does the WELL v2 Certification Supplement include?
The supplement maps your collection to specific WELL features with detailed documentation: M02 Professional Narrative for the art precondition, art density assessment per floor and zone, and a point capture summary showing which WELL optimization credits your collection supports. It works alongside your existing WELL consultant.
Is this a one-time engagement or ongoing?
The standard engagement is a three-year cycle: a full report in year one, followed by annual updates that show trajectory and year-over-year improvement. This longitudinal structure demonstrates sustained commitment to diversity and governance in your collection strategy.
Who produces the report?
