In the context of the climate, environmental, and socioeconomic crisis that defines our era, it is more important than ever to understand and measure the impact generated by one’s activities. We can only structure effective, efficient, and equitable strategies and actions for improvement by becoming aware of current challenges and quantifying these impacts.
FROM 2011 TO TODAY: OUR IMPACTS
Since its inception, Etifor has been committed to measuring and monitoring the positive impacts generated by its activities. Some of the main results achieved from 2011 to today include:
9000
108k
180M
180k
12,6M
BENEFIT CORPORATION AND B CORP
Our commitment to impact measurement is reflected in our legal status as a Benefit Corporation and our B Corp certification. Every year, we monitor our impacts to ensure transparency and continuous improvement.
In 2022, we evaluated our overall performance through the B Impact Assessment (BIA), which measures five dimensions: governance, environment, workers, community, and customers. The result? A score of 100.8 points allowed us to achieve B Corp certification (minimum threshold: 80 points; average score of applicants: 50.9).

POSITIVE IMPACTS 2023
In addition to the assessment conducted with the BIA, Etifor has structured a system to monitor the impacts of its projects, to more accurately report progress toward the specific impact goals stated in its statute. The impacts reported only refer to projects completed in the year under review (2023) and therefore do not include all positive impacts in the previous ten years.
Number of Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) supported in promoting sustainable tourism and/or obtaining certifications related to sustainability
Number of people involved in concrete actions for climate change mitigation
Number of kilometers of bicycle routes mapped and improved to support sustainable tourism and local economic development

Our activities have positive impacts on the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Within the “Impact Report 2023” we have listed the indicators monitored and the results achieved by Etifor during 2023. We have also added some project examples in order to facilitate the understanding of the concrete meaning of these indicators. Finally, for each indicator, we have associated the most impacted SDGs.
ANOTHER STEP TOWARD OUR GOAL:
PUTTING NATURE AT THE CENTER OF DECISION-MAKING.
