Sector Factsheets

Some of the TSF participants have been trained on social and environmental aspects as part of their relationship with FMO. During these trainings, the MFIs learned how to work with so-called Sector Factsheets. These Factsheets contain simple tips for observing social, health and safety and environmental risks and opportunities at client level, and explain how to address these issues with the client, in order to improve the situation.

The Factsheets were developed by Triodos Facet, in part based on our TSF experiences. We've made them available in a simple and accessible way: click here.

Findesa finalist - finished second

During last week's GRI conference in Amsterdam, it was announced at the readers' choice award dinner that Findesa had finished second, in the SME category GRI reporters. An achievement that deserves our congratulations!! Findesa created a wonderful occasion for all TSF participants to be seen and heard on an international platform. The conference proceedings and podcasts of all the sessions can be found at www.globalreporting.org.
