The goal of our project was to create a methodology that would measure the impact of sustainable development practices in Costa Rica. The practices in question are used by the clients of Fundecooperación para el Desarrollo Sostenible (FDS), an NGO whose mission is to finance sustainable development by giving loans to micro, small, and medium sized enterprises in Costa Rica. FDS wants to know how to assess the impact of the sustainable development practices they’ve been financing so that they may make more informed decisions about their credit program in the future. Our team conducted extensive research and interviews on sustainable practices and indicators that show their impact. We also analyzed and worked inside FDS’s database to consider the changes needed for our methodology.
