The IFC Sustainability Framework articulates IFC's strategic commitment to sustainable development and is an integral part of our approach to risk management. It promotes sound environmental and social E&S practices, encourages transparency and accountability, and contributes to positive development impacts. IFC’s Performance Standards, which are part of the Sustainability Framework, have become globally recognized as a benchmark for environmental and social risk management in the private sector.
Presented by IFC ESG experts, this 1-hour webinar will provide a high-level overview of Performance Standard 1 (PS1) and how it is used to assess E&S risks and impacts and develop and implement an E&S management system to avoid, manage or mitigate those E&S risks and impacts. Special attention will be paid to stakeholder engagement, a key requirement of PS1. Future webinars will follow providing a more in-depth overview of each of the other Performance Standards as part of the Sustainability Framework.
