IFC’s ESMS Diagnostic Tool

IFC’s Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) Diagnostic Tool for financial institutions (FIs) is designed to enable IFC, FIs, institutional investors, and asset managers to assess or self-assess the quality of an ESMS and benchmark it against IFC’s Performance Standard 1 and good market practices.
