IFC Advisory Services in Sustainable Business
What we do in a nutshell
We work with companies to adopt environmental, social, and governance practices and technologies that create a competitive edge. We seek the broad adoption of these practices to transform markets and improve people's lives.
We work in agribusiness, manufacturing, services, infrastructure, oil, gas, mining, and other sectors. Our programs promote good corporate governance and strategic community investments; advance women in business, small scale farmers, and small firms; and engage the private sector in climate-change solutions.
