The Green Index 3.0

In 2021, HEDERA developed the digital version of the Green Indx 3.0, a tool to assess environmental performance of microfinance institutions across the main dimensions of green inclusive finance.
It is the first fully open-source tool for environmental assessment developed in this sector, which can be independently hosted by financial service providers on local servers, maintaining alignment with international standards.

In addition, HEDERA provides customizabel software modules for automated reporting.

In 2023, we support e-MFP in the implementation of the Green Map project, an open database of institusions and projects related to best practices in green inclusive finance.
The map, launched in September 2023, fratures the detailed profile description of 28 financial service providers worldwide.
