Every in-kind number with a delivery behind it.
Report what was received, not what was shipped.
In-kind reporting on ImpactMatrix comes out of the operational record: claims, shipments, confirmed deliveries and receipts, with distribution reports carrying SDG tags. The quarter closes on data your team already generated rather than a survey of partner nonprofits.

In one paragraph
In-kind ESG and CSR reporting is the practice of documenting non-cash contribution and its outcome. On ImpactMatrix, reporting is generated from operational records — Gifts in Kind claims, shipments with chain of custody, deliveries confirmed by the recipient, and receipts — with distribution reports that carry SDG tags. It reports what the platform recorded and is not an accounting or assurance system.
What you can do
Real button and tab names. Nothing here is on a roadmap.
Pull distribution reporting from the claims and confirmed deliveries already in the system, instead of emailing partner nonprofits a spreadsheet in week two of the quarter.
Report on goods that were received, which is a defensible number, rather than goods that were dispatched, which is an intention.
Distribution reports carry SDG tags, which is usually the framing a board deck or sustainability disclosure needs.
Each confirmed delivery has a receipt behind it, so the reported figure has a document under every line.
How it runs
Run the programme on the platform
Listings, claims, shipments and confirmations — reporting is a by-product, not a project.
Pull the quarter
Distribution reports with SDG tags, per recipient and per delivery.
Take questions
Every figure traces to a confirmed delivery and a receipt.
Why this is hard today
The problem
In-kind is the line in every CSR report that gets estimated. The goods left a warehouse, a nonprofit said thank you, and somebody assigns a value in a spreadsheet three months later with nothing underneath it.
What the platform does
Reporting generated from delivery-confirmed operational records, tagged for SDG framing, with a receipt behind each entry.
The artifact
A quarter of in-kind contribution where each figure traces to a confirmed delivery — the difference between a claim and a record.
Operational evidence, exported to your framework
Distribution reports and confirmed deliveries feed the CSR/ESG dashboard, which exports a CSRD-aligned iXBRL package tagged to the ESRS taxonomy, alongside GRI and BRSR framework exports. What it provides is the underlying evidence most in-kind reporting lacks: who received what, when, confirmed by them, with a receipt — so the framework export traces to real records instead of estimates.
Use ImpactMatrix when
You report in-kind contribution and want delivery-confirmed records behind the numbers, exported to CSRD, GRI or BRSR.
Use something else when
You need third-party assurance or audit sign-off, which stays outside the platform regardless of framework.

Questions
How do companies report in-kind donations for CSR?
The defensible approach is to report goods that recipients confirmed receiving, with documentation per delivery. On ImpactMatrix, distribution reports with SDG tags are generated from claims, shipments and confirmed deliveries, and each has a receipt behind it.
Why report confirmed deliveries rather than shipments?
Because a shipment is an intention and a confirmed delivery is an outcome. Reporting dispatched goods overstates impact whenever something is returned, redirected or undeliverable, and it gives an auditor nothing to verify against.
Does ImpactMatrix produce CSRD or BRSR disclosures?
Yes. The CSR/ESG dashboard exports a CSRD-aligned iXBRL package tagged to the ESRS taxonomy, alongside GRI and BRSR framework exports, built from confirmed deliveries and distribution reports with SDG tags rather than estimates.
Can we report per recipient organization?
Yes. Claims, shipments and confirmed deliveries are recorded against the receiving organization, so distribution reporting can be pulled per recipient as well as in aggregate for the quarter.
