New Joint IFC - GRI Publication

IFC sees sustainability reporting as a timely next step to improve transparency and strengthen trust in the private
sector. It is also a management tool that can help companies to identify operational efficiency improvements,
innovate in their products and services, build stronger relationships with stakeholders, enhance reputational
value and, increasingly, attract investors.
IFC would like to see many more of theirclients undertaking GRI-based reporting alongside and as part of
their traditional annual reporting. Companies achieving excellence across all aspects of management are
companies most likely to grow and succeed over the long term.
