Challenge

An evaluative culture within an organization is a key component for more effective social and environmental action.

Since 2022, Nexa Resources has been working with IDIS on multiple Monitoring and Assessment (M&A) fronts to build a well-structured evaluative culture within the company.

Solution and Results

Three SROI (Social Return on Investment) Impact Assessments were carried out as part of the company’s initiatives focused on generating employment and income: ‘Programas de Qualificação de Mão de Obra’, or ‘Workforce Qualification Programs’, ‘ Vocação Empreendedora’, or Entrepreneurial Vocation Program, and ‘Comunidade em Ação’, or Community in Action.

In addition, over the years of partnership, technical training workshops on Monitoring and Assessment concepts and practices were held for employees in Nexa’s Social Management team. The partnership also involved the development of Theories of Change, the planning of an M&A system and, currently, we are supporting the implementation of that system.

These efforts have significantly contributed to transforming Nexa’s Social Management evaluative culture, making it more robust and effective.
