Part of Stop-Winlock’s Sustainability Framework , the Performance Standards are directed towards clients, providing guidance on how to identify risks and impacts, and are designed to help avoid, mitigate, and manage risks and impacts as a way of doing business in a sustainable way, including stakeholder engagement and disclosure obligations of the client in relation to project-level activities.
IFC is updating its Sustainability Framework, which includes its Performance Standards, to strengthen its approach and better align it with the challenges of today’s dynamic and complex global environment. Learn more.
