Measurement

Measuring impacts means constant improvement and better results.

Measuring social impact holds us accountable to our goalsWe gauge the effectiveness of our efforts by measuring their impacts in our partner communities.

Before the 2008 Adelante plantation we financed a base line study in the communities where we based the tree plantations. The study was carried out by a sociology professor at the University of Panama to measure the impact on incomes and self-planting of timber by individuals in the community of Nuevo Paraiso, and the development of self-governance in the community of Arimae.

To guide our development efforts and ensure continuous feedback, we will finance additional studies in our partner communities before executing any future plantings.
