Product description
As explained in the preface to this new publication, “lending and investment activities influence the environmental, social and governance impacts of global business far greater than the operational footprint of financial institutions themselves.” As a result, a growing number of organizations in the financial services, natural resources, infrastructure and other industries are managing environmental and social risks by leveraging sophisticated and innovative processes and frameworks explored in this book.
Up-to-date, practical direction
Sustainability is a key driver of business strategy and risk management. Organizations may face significant challenges in a broad range of areas, including indigenous consultation, climate change and human rights.

This new edition of Equator Principles and Performance Standards on Environmental & Social Sustainability: A Guidebook offers detailed direction for legal practitioners and advisors on the application of the relevant standards, including the Equator Principles that were updated in 2020.
This second edition features:
- An in-depth discussion of the Equator Principles – the framework applied by 108 global banks for evaluating project-related financings and used as a best practice guide for environmental and social risk management.

- Up-to-date guidance on the IFC Standards, taking into account developments that have occurred since the publication of the first edition of this text
