Measuring Environmental Performance in Microfinance

An array of qualitative green microfinance indicators is available for microfinance institutions (MFIs) to assess their green management performance, track progress over time, as well as to gain a broad overview of current and future trends: MIX’s green performance indicators, the Green Index, the Green Performance Agenda and the forthcoming Progress out of Energy Poverty Index.
