A Look at Environmental and Social Risk Management in Projects Financed by the IDB
The IDB has a strong commitment to sustainability through its policies, standards, and guidelines for social and environmental management. Each policy fosters sustainability through a two-pronged approach: first, to improve the results of Bank-financed projects by looking at social and environmental concerns, and second, to minimize the negative impacts of such risks in areas such as:
Environment
Work and labor conditions
Community health and safety
Involuntary resettlement
Indigenous peoples
Gender equality
