September 9, 2009—IFC today begins a review and update of its standards on social and environmental sustainability and its disclosure policy, which are part of our longstanding commitment to sound environmental management and social development.
The Policy and Performance Standards on Social and Environmental Sustainability and the Policy on Disclosure of Information came into effect on April 30, 2006.
The review and update process will ensure that the standards and policy reflect lessons learned from the last three years of implementation as well as evolutions in the global environment. It also will give stakeholders the opportunity to provide their advice, comments, and guidance.
