Plataforma Linhas de Crédito Sustentável no Brasil: Metodologia e Glossário

This guide outlines the methodology and glossary for a tool designed to systematize sustainable credit lines and financial instruments in Brazil, focusing on public programs, constitutional funds, and blended finance initiatives.

• The tool organizes sustainable financial instruments in Brazil based on specific inclusion criteria, including credit lines linked to public programs and constitutional funds, structured financial instruments for sustainable purposes, and blended finance initiatives focused on restoration, agroforestry, and the sociobioeconomy. It excludes instruments lacking verifiable public documentation or minimum information regarding beneficiaries and purpose.
• Beneficiary classification for the FNE, FCO, and FNO funds is based on annual gross operational income or annual agricultural income, divided into six tiers: Mini/Micro (up to R$ 360,000.00), Small (R$ 360,000.01 to R$ 4,800,000.00), Small-Medium (R$ 4,800,000.01 to R$ 16,000,000.00), Medium I (R$ 16,000,000.01 to R$ 90,000,000.00), Medium II (R$ 90,000,000.01 to R$ 300,000,000.00), and Large (above R$ 300,000,000.00).
• The database is structured around several data fields, including the program or fund, subprogram, purpose, beneficiary type, income limits, company classification, interest rates, grace periods, payment terms, and states of operation. The data is sourced from official credit manuals, institutional materials, and regulations of the Constitutional Funds (FNE, FCO, FNO).
• The tool acknowledges specific limitations, noting that not all credit lines provide complete information on grace periods, interest, or terms. In such cases, fields are marked as "Não informado". Additionally, conditions may change based on annual regulations, such as the Plano Safra.
