Althelia

As an expression of its commitment to define excellence in environmental, social and governance standards and safeguards and portfolio performance, Althelia has worked with investors and NGO partners to design a proprietary Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy and management system, incorporating the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability (2012) and the EIB Statement of Environmental and Social Principles and Standards (2009). Forest-based emissions reductions financed by the Fund will also be validated and verified to the Climate Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards, using the Gold Level of the Standards for projects delivering smallholder/community-led equitable benefits and exceptional biodiversity benefits, as appropriate.
