Funders

The development of the BellagioSTAMP was made possible by in-kind and financial support provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, the OECD's Measuring the Progress of Societies initiative and a grant by the Dutch Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL). Additional resources and in-kind support was provided by the International Institute for Sustainable Development.

OECD

The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is a forum where member countries work with other nations and communities to champion higher standards by benchmarking how well society is working.

The OECD's analyses and performance comparisons are the tools it uses to recommend policies designed to help individual nations and global communities prosper. The impartiality that characterizes its reviewing process leads to objective standards for governments to aspire to and encourages them to adopt policies that are in the best, long-term interests of their citizens.

The OECD is proud to have joined the IISD as a co-organizer of the workshop at which the BellagioSTAMP principles were developed, and also to have been represented in the group of people who drafted the principles.

Established in 1990, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is a non-partisan, charitable organization specializing in policy research, analysis and information exchange. Through our Head Office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and our branches in Ottawa, New York and Geneva, we apply human ingenuity to improve the well-being of the world's environment, economy and society.

The Institute is dedicated to ongoing communication of its findings as we engage decision-makers in government, business, non-government organizations and other sectors in the development and implementation of policies that are beneficial to the world's economy, environment and social well-being.
