IFC can help companies gain a competitive advantage through environmental and social risk reduction and management, and the identification of opportunities that enhance business value.
The IFC Private Enterprise Partnership for Africa has established a sustainability business line to help more companies adopt environmentally sustainable business practices. PEP Africa helps the private sector introduce innovative and cost effective methods of promoting sustainable energy, clean air, clean water, biodiversity, higher labor standards, and equal opportunities for women. PEP Africa:
- Demonstrates the commercial value of environmentally sustainable business practices
- Nurtures innovative business initiatives that deliver environmental and social benefits
- Encourages the replication of successful models
The design of a monitoring and evaluation framework that measures immediate and long-term environmental outcomes of these improvements is imbedded in the services PEP Africa offers.
