FUNDES is a consultancy firm that specializes in the development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), resulting in the strengthening of value chains and competitive business ecosystems.
Purpose
FUNDES mission is to leverage micro & small businesses to achieve economic and social development.
Our 40 years of experience in the field brought us to understand that micro and small businesses from the “traditional economy” can change the world. We aim to build competitive and inclusive economies and create pathways out of poverty for thousands of people in the region. To do so, we partner with large companies, development organizations and governments to build competitive and sustainable business ecosystems.
We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
