Our approach connects applicable legal requirements and financing conditions with operational controls, stakeholder engagement and ongoing monitoring.
IFC Performance Standards
The eight standards guide IFC clients in identifying and managing project impacts, including engagement and disclosure. They provide a structured reference for due diligence and environmental and social management systems.

From safeguards to
resilience and adaptation.
Risk assessment, responsive management and stakeholder feedback help projects adapt as conditions change. The ESF also supports institutional capacity, transparent consultation and accessible grievance mechanisms.
Governments & public institutions
Use clear responsibilities and evidence to strengthen project oversight and implementation capacity.
Development institutions & financiers
Connect risk screening with financing decisions, action plans and portfolio monitoring.
Companies & project developers
Address operational gaps early and integrate safeguards into project design and delivery.
People & ecosystems
Build protection, inclusion and meaningful participation into the development process.
CliSo’s practical application: assess physical climate exposure, community vulnerability and resource dependencies; prioritise protective measures; assign owners, budgets and indicators; then review outcomes as project conditions evolve.
Framework alignment supports due diligence; it does not certify compliance or guarantee funding. Applicable law, lender conditions and project-specific requirements must be assessed separately. IFC and World Bank requirements are distinct and are not interchangeable.
