How EcoMetrics Works

The process is as important as the results, the ability to capture input from stakeholders and site analysis, this requires in depth stakeholder engagement and an in-situ understanding of the project and its environmental, social and economic impacts which is essential to the process. The collaborative spirit that is embedded in the process is essential to capturing the Social Return on Investment – the Heart of EcoMetrics.

 

Social Return on Investment:

The Heart of EcoMetrics

 

EcoMetrics’ unique design employs a unique, stakeholder-centric Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology to calculate and forecast financial, environmental, and social returns from natural capital and nature-based projects.

Tangible and intangible values are:

 

  • Fully documented
  • In an auditable report and can be third-party verified

This provides full transparency for:

  • Organizational decision making
  • Strategic and scenario planning
  • Reporting purposes such as Sustainability Reports

    A Stakeholder-Centric Approach

    EcoMetrics monitors, tracks and collects data on a specific projects, accounting for the environmental, social and economic value created for funders and community stakeholders. Value is captured by EcoMetrics in both “market” terms, such as economic value/cost internalized by project sponsors, and “non-market” terms, such as the environmental, social and economic value/cost created for other stakeholders.

    EcoMetrics follows a stakeholder-centric approach to SROI evaluation and forecasting.

    EcoMetrics internalizes critical environmental attributes of each project to accurately assess and report on the environmental impacts/changes in each landscape resulting from the project activities. 

    Categorizing ‘the environment’ as a stakeholder, makes it easier for the stakeholders engaged to understand the financial net benefits of restored or unprotected ecosystems. This also makes it possible for project funding partners to communicate the co-benefits of their work in financial terms to shareholders, stakeholders and management.

    Our EcoMetrics Model captures the full monetary value created by nature-based solutions in a way that aligns with International Integrated Reporting protocols.
