THE BUSSINES CASE FOR SUSTANABILITY There is a correlation between good E&S performance and financial i performance. The Harvard Business School study found that E&S performance was stronger (i) in sectors that were significant users of natural resources, (ii) where brand and human capital were particularly important and (iii) where the companies competed on a business-to-consumers bases. http://earthsayers.tv/sustainabilityadvocate/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/working-paper-sefereini-et-al.pdftv/sustainabilityadvocate/wp content/uploads/2012/04/working et al pdf 11

IFC s FRAMEWORK FOR IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING E&S RISKS 15
IFC Corporate Governance (CG) Methodology Sharing Best Practice 34 development finance institutions now follow IFC s approach, covering five key areas of risk assessment: 1 Commitment to CG: Awareness and formalization of sound practices Structure/Functioning of Boards of Directors: Board 2 roles, composition, committee structure, procedures, director duties, and overall functioning 3 Control Environment and Processes: Effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, internal/external audit, and compliance functions 4 5 Transparency and Disclosure: Information disclosure to shareholders and markets; transparency of information and financial standards used Rights of Minority Shareholders: Treatment of investors, shareholders rights and protections, annual meeting procedures, conflict/related-party transaction policies 16
E&S AND CG (ESG): THE TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE Why the Board should get involved: Regulators are focusing on E&S issues Investors are looking into E&S standards and practices Shareholders E&S concerns Employees can be motivated and protected Sustainability is long-term strategy and action 17
