EMSD Workshop

Sustainability Tools in Practice in Emerging Markets – Building on Lessons Learned from the Infrastructure and Extractive Sectors

Mexico City, 19 and 20 April 2018

Hotel NH Centro Histórico

Context and objectives

The Emerging Market Sustainability Dialogues (EMSD) has a proven track record in working with emerging economy partners to develop and implement sustainability solutions and putting them on the global agenda. EMSD´s member-driven network of multinational corporations, think tanks and the financial sector has successfully worked on solutions in infrastructure, including in its Policy Initiative on Sustainable Infrastructure, and the extractives sector.

Sustainability professionals are increasingly facing the “implementation challenge”: Guidelines and instruments seeking to foster sustainability in infrastructure and extractive sector investments have mushroomed in the last few years; but even though they are developed with the best intentions and technical and organisational expertise, their effectiveness still largely depends on their actual application. For businesses, governments and civil society to reap the benefits of existing tools, it is thus important to focus efforts on improved implementation.

This two-day workshop, hosted by the Emerging Market Sustainability Dialogues (EMSD), will seek to pave the way for more effective implementation of sustainability tools, specifically: (1) stakeholder engagement provisions in sustainability guidelines, (2) sustainability rating and asset valuation tools and (3) environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk management mechanisms in the financial sector.

Expected outcomes

The workshop seeks to

1. identify joint projects between multinational enterprises, think tanks, civil society and financial sector stakeholders that would fill knowledge gaps on the effective implementation of sustainability tools, e.g. by generating and analysing experiences and data to understand, assess and improve the operation of such tools;

2. identify and work on suitable pilot projects between tools providers and relevant stakeholders to implement selected sustainability tools;

3. incentivise financial institutions to review their tools and processes to increase their uptake and effectiveness in light of workshop results.

EMSD will facilitate the development of project ideas between potential partners and may accompany and support promising pilots launched during the workshop.

Session 1

10:00- 11:00

Sustainability tools – the “implementation challenge”

Sustainability in infrastructure and extractives is arguably key for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainability advocates have come a long way in putting sustainability on the policy agenda and the issue is increasingly reflected in the business community. The growing number of sustainability tools testifies to this welcome development. This session focuses on the role of such tools in the sustainability agenda and addresses options to increase their reach and impact through more effective implementation.

1. Achievements in mainstreaming sustainable

infrastructure/extractives on the policy agenda

2. Role of sustainability tools within the broader sustainability

universe, obstacles to successful implementation of

sustainability tools, and ensuring sustainability beyond

individual projects

3. Business interests at stake (e.g. social license to operate;

access to funding; “business case” for sustainability)

IISD’s Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) tool, Harvard’s Envision and Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB)’s SuRe standard will be at the centre.

Session 4

12h30-13h30 Lunch

Financial institutions´ ESG risk management frameworks for project finance

Financial institutions typically require investors to adhere to risk management frameworks to ensure an adequate consideration of sustainability aspects in project finance. Development finance institutions were forerunners in this respect (such as the International Finance Corporation´s Performance Standards) but private financial institutions are adopting similar approaches (such as the Equator Principles). This part of the workshop will review the performance and effectiveness of such mechanisms over the past years, how they evolved, and how they affect project design. Institutional structures, such as grievance mechanisms (e.g. IFC’s Office of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman), will also be considered.
