10. CDI RATINGS vs. OTHER METHODS
• Financial and extrafinancial evaluation method, tailored for social businesses,
with 600 sectorial criteria.
• Pragmatic approach with concrete data, based on a field expertise of 30 years,
which allows a diagnosis to support social businesses and a detailed reporting
for investors.
 Calculus of the difference between public money and avoided costs for
the community.
 Effective method to compare different business models but with no
detailed analysis of the financial an extrafinancial performances.
 Analytical framework to measure and monetize the « value » concept
including social and environmental costs and benefits,
 Well-know method which enables to have a very complete idea of the
activities and its impacts of a social business but very time-consuming,
costly and with the limit of monetization (loss of information).
 Standardized analysis method for social and environmental impact.
 Concrete method with a large number of quantitative criteria, but with no
qualitative criteria and which suffers of a lack of pragmatism (collecting
information),
