Assessing Social & Environmental Risks & Opportunities
Social and environmental analysis is an integral part of every IFC investment. Early involvement of IFC's social and environmental specialists contributes to a greater understanding of clients' needs and of the environmental and social risks and opportunities associated with a proposed investment. IFC can help companies gain competitive advantage by reducing and managing environmental and social risk and by identifying opportunities to enhance business value.

Insurance Services
Insurance specialists, who are part of each IFC investment team, provide client support in the assessment of project-specific business risks and exposures and guidance on the structuring of appropriate, cost-effective methods for mitigating, treating, or transferring risks (including insurance solutions). Early involvement in the project cycle helps ensure that project sponsors receive fast, constructive feedback and guidance on risk identification and mitigation.
Anti-Corruption & Anti-Fraud
IFC is at the forefront of the market and of development institutions in guarding against fraud and corruption in its projects. This approach complements and supports IFC's determination to act as a leader on sustainability. Avoiding fraud and corruption is necessary to ensure that IFC's investments are successful, that its resources are being used effectively, and that its development objectives are met.
