Work
NEF works in the areas of community, democracy, and economics. A number of the ideas advanced by NEF have become public policy. NEF has for example promoted the spread of time banks and NEF's work on sustainability indicators, which measures aspects of life and environment, has fueled a trend to map how economic growth and sustainability are connected.
From 1995 to 2000 NEF made social audits of companies to measure and evaluate a company's social and ethical performance according to its standards. This work was instrumental in the formation of the Institute of Social and Ethical Accountability to promote professional standards around social accounting and auditing.
