Your art collection is social impact.

The points are already there.

We measure them for you.

  • Mapped to GRI 405, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, WELL v2, and BOMA BEST
  • First mandate: Finance Montréal
  • Title sells no art and lends none, so the reporting stays independent

Nobody was ever trained to look.

Your collection already earns credit under the frameworks you report to, and nobody has claimed it. "We had no idea our collection counted for any of this." The report translates what you own into metrics, narratives, and submission-ready documentation your team can use directly.

Frameworks we report against.

GRI 405

Diversity and Equal Opportunity

GRI 405-1 includes an open "other indicators of diversity" field. Most institutions leave it blank. Your collection fills it with structured, auditable data.

  • Gender representation across artists and acquisition periods
  • Career stage diversity at time of acquisition
  • Geographic and cultural origin of represented artists

Output formatted for direct inclusion in GRI 405-1 disclosures.

UN SDGs

Sustainable Development Goals

Collection activity maps to four SDG targets that most institutions already report against but rarely connect to their art holdings.

  • SDG 5, Gender Equality: women artist representation and trend
  • SDG 10, Reduced Inequalities: underrepresented communities in the collection
  • SDG 11, Sustainable Cities: public art access and cultural infrastructure
  • SDG 16, Strong Institutions: collection governance and transparency

Narrative and metrics structured for SDG Voluntary National Review alignment.

WELL v2

18 to 36 points

Building Standard

Every WELL-certified building must demonstrate meaningful integration of public art (precondition M02). Beyond that, a governed collection contributes optimization points across six WELL concepts.

  • Mind: restorative spaces, biophilic design through art
  • Community: public gallery access, artist programming, civic engagement
  • Materials: conservation-grade environments meet VOC and air quality thresholds
  • Light and Sound: gallery-standard lighting and acoustics satisfy occupant comfort requirements

WELL Gold requires 60 points. At the upper range, a governed art collection contributes over half.

Produces M02 Professional Narrative, density assessment, and point capture summary. Works alongside your WELL consultant.

BOMA BEST

Up to 15 points

Building Environmental Standards

BOMA 360 and TOBY awards allocate up to 30 points for tenant and occupant engagement. Art programming, public access, and cultural contribution can account for half of that category.

  • Art programming documented as community engagement
  • Public access and cultural contribution to the built environment
  • Tenant experience enhancement through curated spaces

Metrics and evidence formatted for BOMA BEST submission packages.

Every report is built to work with your existing consultants, certifiers, and reporting workflows. We produce the collection analysis. It drops into your own reporting.

    Provide your collection records

    Inventory lists, artist records, floor plans. We work with whatever exists: spreadsheets, legacy databases, even physical files. If your collection is not catalogued, our team handles that first.

    • Collection inventory and artist information
    • Floor plans for WELL density mapping
    • Your current ESG reporting framework, if any

    We learn your institution, then score your collection

    Before running any analysis, we study your annual reports, stated values, and stakeholder profile to define what good looks like for your institution. Then we score your collection against the dimensions that matter most.

    • Institution research defines your priority dimensions
    • Composition analysis: gender, geography, career stage, cultural representation
    • Every metric mapped to GRI, UN SDG, WELL, and BOMA BEST

Finance Montréal, the first mandate.

Montréal's financial-services cluster holds a corporate collection that had never appeared in its sustainability reporting. It is the first collection to receive a Social Impact Report, and the first to be presented on its own digital showroom: every work, its provenance, and the collector's story, open to the people who walk past it every day.

Common questions.

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?

George Fortin (MBA, ESG strategy, formerly PSP Investments, WELL certification experience) and Alex Kwok (MFA, collection analysis, formerly of the TD Bank curatorial team, 6,000 works across 1,000 locations). Institutional real estate ESG expertise and large-scale collection management experience, in one team.
