Criteria and indicators used to conduct the stakeholder analysis.

Criteria Description and Indicators
Interest Refers to the priority given by stakeholders to food loss and waste (FLW) within their organization, the impact that FLW has in their organization, and their participation in the Costa Rican Food Loss and Waste Reduction Network (CR-FLW Network).
It was calculated through the sum of self-reported score related to the priority given to FLW within their organization (5-point scale), the impact that FLW has in their organization (5-point scale), and the percentage of CR-FLW Network meetings attended between November 2014 and April 2021 (1 = <20%, 2 = 20–39%, 3 = 40–59%, 4 = 60–79%, 5 = 80–100%)
All items are assumed to have equal weight when calculating the added score per member and plotted on the graph according to the given scale.
Influence Considers if the stakeholder collaborates with other members on FLW projects, if they have organizational support for FLW activities and if the organization has an explicit plan to address FLW.
It was calculated through the sum of self-reported scores related to the collaborative FLW work the organization develops with others (5-point scale), the organizational support to the FLW topic (5-point scale,) and if the organization has an explicit plan to address the FLW topic (5-point scale).
All items are assumed to have equal weight when calculating the added score and plotted on the graph according to the given scale.
Sector The mapping considered four main sectors and clustered the stakeholders in (a) public, (b) private, non-governmental organizations (NGO) or civil society, (c) education and academic, and (d)international organization.
