We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries.

CEG includes approximately 200 staff and consultants, substantially involved in pre-investment environmental and social (E&S) due diligence and monitoring of portfolio clients’ E&S outcomes.  CEG supports IFC’s investment and advisory departments to manage ESG risks associated with their activities and find solutions to client issues based on our Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability www.ifc.org/performancestandards) and the Corporate Governance Methodology (www.ifc.org/corporategovernance).  CEG further leverages this expertise and operational experience in emerging markets to encourage the effective adoption of these standards by companies and investors across emerging markets.  More details can be found at www.ifc.org/sustainability.IFC is unique among Development Finance Institutions to have this cadre of the in-house environment, social, and corporate governance experts.  It is through this expertise that CEG delivers on the two goals of its strategy: (i) partnering with IFC’s investment departments to manage ESG risks associated with their investments and find solutions to client issues and (ii) leveraging our ESG expertise and operational experience in emerging markets to maintain IFC’s leadership in sustainability through ESG standards and to encourage the effective adoption of these standards by companies and investors across the emerging markets.  IFC’s standards have been widely adopted in emerging markets by development banks, project finance banks (www.equator-principles.com), and export credit agencies such that over the last decade, US$ 4.5 trillion have been invested adhering to them.
