I. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND SURVEY RESULTS The Research Context   This report focuses on sustainable banking as one of the fastest changing segments of sustainable finance.  The research  done to support this report had several objectives.  First, it had to capture the overall picture of the emerging market  banking sector with regard to its view on social and environmental issues and integration of sustainability practices in  business decisionmaking.  Second, it had to document the concrete experience of emerging market banks in successfully  implementing  social  and  environmental  management  system,  and  explore  their  business  rationale  for  pursuing  opportunities  related  to  sustainability.    Third,  it  had  to  determine  the  role  of  IFC  capacity  building  programs  in  improving  understanding  and  promoting  implementation  of  sustainable  finance  principles  in  emerging  markets.   Fourth,  it  had  to  build  and  expand  the  findings  of  the  previous  research  on  this  subject,  summarized  in  IFC’s  2003  publication, Beyond Risk.  In the view of these objectives, the research methodology included two components:    Stage 1.  Administration of a survey, based on an online questionnaire to all financial institutions that had participated  in  IFC  Competitive  Business  Advantage  (CBA)  workshops  from  July  2002  to  September  2005.  These  institutions  had  already been introduced to the concept of sustainable finance through the workshops.    Stage  2.    Collection  and  analysis  of  best  practice  examples  of  emerging  market  banking  institutions  that  had  participated in the workshops. 

The Questionnaire-based Survey Scope of the Questionnaire The issues covered in the questionnaire included:    ⁻ The respondent’s professional level and functional role   ⁻ Profile of the financial institutions, including industries financed, domestic or foreign status, main lines of  business, average number of employees, value of assets, transaction size  ⁻ Main sources of social and environmental risks for the financial institutions and its clients  ⁻ Views of financial institutions on the ways to capitalize on sustainability opportunities  ⁻ Key reasons to consider social and environmental sustainability issues  ⁻ Implementation of social and environmental sustainability standards, tools, and management systems  ⁻ Barriers to implementation  ⁻ Key business impacts of considering social and environmental sustainability issues  ⁻ Demand for IFC assistance on sustainability issues, such as further information, technical assistance and  advisory services, financial support, product offerings in sustainability areas, and providing means to enhance  sustainability learning.  Respondent Profiling and Generation of a Distribution List To meet the goals of this report and expand the findings of the Beyond Risk research, the 2005 survey included financial  institutions  that  participated  in  IFC’s  Competitive  Business  Advantage  workshops  from  October  2002  to  September  2005.  To ensure the accuracy of the survey data, representatives of IFC who attended these workshops were excluded  from the survey.   Survey Administration The survey was administered through a professional online engine that allowed for easy distribution, high interactivity  of the questionnaire depending on individual responses, and effective tracking of responses.  An invitation to complete  a survey was sent out through the online engine.  The invitation then directed survey respondents to a Web site where  they could view and complete the questionnaire.  The engine also provided tools for initial analysis of survey results.  

1

To ensure a higher response rate, the questionnaire was translated and distributed in Russian and Spanish to  respondents from Russian‐ and Spanish‐speaking countries.  Telephone calls were made to the entire survey  distribution list to ensure that prospective respondents had received the questionnaire and to address any question or  technical issues they might have.  Sample Size and Response Rate The initial survey distribution list consisted of 498 potential respondents.  Despite the obvious advantages of an online  survey, a common technical obstacle is inaccessibility of certain e‐mail addresses because of server failures or the fact  that these addresses no longer exist.  In this case, 121 responses were received and 84 e‐mail addresses on the original  list were unreachable.  Therefore, the overall response rate was 24 percent, if technical failures are not taken into  account.  However, the response rate increases to 29 percent if the calculation is based on the number of actual survey  recipients (total number of survey invitations sent less the number of “bounce‐back” e‐mail addresses).  

 

Best Practice Examples Best  practice  examples  were  collected  from  17  financial  institutions,  whose  representatives  have  participated  in  Competitive Business Advantage workshops.  For the selection process, the following criteria were applied:  • Focus on the banking sector: Since this study has a specific focus on the banking sector, institutions had to be  engaged in a variety of activating related to commercial banking, such as lending, leasing, and/or commercial  microfinance.  • Focus on regional diversity: To demonstrate the business case in all emerging markets, the choice of best practice  examples was also diversified by region.  • Focus on expertise in sustainability management: The examples had to be from financial institutions that had made  concrete steps toward implementing a SEMS.  • Focus on the business case for innovation:  Financial institutions had to align sustainable innovation with their  business goals and strategy.  • Focus on diversity of sustainability areas:  Examples had to cover innovations in a wide variety of sustainability‐ related areas discussed in this report, such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, biodiversity conservation,  and social finance.  Representatives of these financial institutions were contacted and personal interviews were conducted by phone.  The  interviews focused on:  • Business goals of financial institutions  • Recent market challenges they faced  • Social and environmental management practices used to identify and mitigate risks and/pursue opportunities  • Elements of the SEMS developed by financial institutions and their integration into corporate management  systems, such as risk management, human recourse management, monitoring and evaluation, and reporting  • Concrete examples of sustainability‐related investment projects; the focus included both projects that invest  directly in sustainability areas (such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, and biodiversity conservation) and  “business as usual” projects that included sustainability‐related components that led to overall improvement in  projects (such as risk reduction, cost reduction, revenue increase)   • Overall financial and nonfinancial results achieved by a financial institution as a result of considering social and  environmental issues  Additional information for the best practice examples was also collected through:  • Documentation and additional information supplied by financial institutions  • Official information available through the financial institution’s Web site and financial and nonfinancial reports  (such as sustainability reports)  • Internal IFC documents and project files  • Personal interviews with IFC investment staff

Business Impact of Considering and Managing Social and Environmental Issues Most of the financial institutions that responded to the survey—81 percent—reported that positive changes had  resulted from their steps to integrate social and environmental sustainability issues in their business, either by  implementing a formal SEMS or using other procedures. About a quarter of these respondents (26 percent)  perceived these changes as significant.  Not a single respondent reported a negative change from considering  social and environmental issues.      These figures varied for financial institutions that considered social and environmental risks only as opposed to  considering both risks and sustainability‐related opportunities.  While 79 percent of respondents whose financial  institutions considered risks only reported a positive change in their business, this figure was higher (84 percent)  for those who considered both risks and opportunities.  Notably, only 21 percent of respondents whose  institutions considered risks only perceived this change to be significant compared to 33 percent for those who  considered both.

III. IFC COMPETITIVE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE WORKSHOP IN SUSTAINABLE FINANCE   The Sustainable Finance Workshop: A Learning Experience with a Difference   Three characteristics set the IFC Sustainable Finance Workshop apart from traditional seminars on environmental  or social issues.     Clearly defined deliverables: In the workshop you will acquire know‐how and the skills to deal with sustainability  issues. However, the course is not intended to be a mere class exercise. You are expected to be productive and to  work on an outline social and environmental management system (SEMS). This will be tailored to your institution  and ready for implementation at the end of the workshop.    The financial professionalʹs business perspective: The concepts and language used in the workshop are those familiar  in the financial sector. Taking a business perspective means analyzing social and environmental issues in terms of  financial risks, investment opportunities and reputation.  Sustainability jargon is kept to a minimum.    High interactivity: Expect a high level of interaction. The workshop is designed to create synergies between  participantsʹ expertise, thought‐provoking inputs by trainers, and support by seasoned coaches.   

Target Audience   The workshop is tailored to management staff in financial institutions who are in charge of sustainability issues,  environmental management, or credit risk management. A modular structure makes the course suitable for both  beginners and advanced professionals familiar with social and environmental issues.   

Practical Approach, Business Perspective   Capacity‐building is the first objective of the workshop. You will acquire the skills for analyzing, discussing, and  managing sustainability issues within your institution and with relevant stakeholders.    The focus, however, is on the second objective: to set up an outline of SEMS that deals with the issues relevant to  your institution and in your business environment. Guidance is provided in the form of a workbook designed to  accompany your work on the SEMS and to serve as a blueprint before, during, and after the training event.    Implementing SEMS benefits financial institutions in two ways:  • Firstly, by capitalizing on the business case linked to sustainability issues.  • Secondly, by ensuring compliance with IFC guidelines/policies.    It is this practical focus that distinguishes the Sustainable Finance Workshops from similar courses that  traditionally focus on awareness‐raising. You will start to deal with sustainability issues and to set up your SEMS  while still in the workshop, while experienced coaches are on hand to provide you with any support you may  require.    If your institution already has social and environmental management system running, the workshop is a good  opportunity to review it.

Content: Five Steps toward a Social and Environmental Management System   In the workshop you will take six steps towards your SEMS. Each step is initiated by a presentation providing  you with a thorough understanding of the issues at hand and a range of conceptual tools you may find useful in  your work.    Step 1:  Analyze and Prioritize    Step 2: Sustainability Policy    Step 3: Procedures    Step 4: Resources and Planning    Step 5: Monitoring and Feedback    Break‐out sessions will be available for those interested in particular business areas such as insurance, or for  participants with expertise in managing sustainability issues.   

Training and Coaching By Experienced Professionals   The trainers delivering the sustainable finance workshops and the coaches supporting you in your work on the  SEMS have a sound background in both finance and sustainability issues.    • This encompasses, first of all, a thorough understanding of a bankʹs mechanics and business activities.    • Secondly, trainers are both familiar with environmental, social, and development problems and have the  expertise to discuss these from a business perspective.    • Thirdly, you will be able to draw from the coachesʹ experience in setting up and maintaining  management systems dealing with risk, sustainability, environmental issues and quality.
