IFC Performance Standards

IFC Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability

The eight performance standards that international lenders and Equator Principles financial institutions apply to projects they fund.

  • Lender framework
  • 7 related services
  • 1 case study

The IFC Performance Standards are the reference framework for environmental and social risk in project finance. Where a Ghanaian project is funded internationally, meeting national requirements alone is rarely sufficient.

Who needs it

Developers and operators seeking international finance, particularly in energy, infrastructure, mining and large scale industry. Any project subject to Equator Principles lending will be assessed against them.

How we approach it

We assess the project against PS1 to PS8, identify the gaps against Ghanaian requirements, and build a single set of assessment and management documents that satisfies both. That typically means an ESIA, an ESMP, a stakeholder engagement plan and a grievance redress procedure that a lender will accept.
