International Finance Corporation (IFC) developed this Good Practice Note (GPN) to help clients provide sound, consistent, and effective approaches for managing the Environmental and Social (E and S) performance of contractors to ensure compliance with IFC requirements.
... See More + The document will also assist contractors in managing their subcontractors. IFC Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability (PSs) require clients to identify E and S risks and impacts, typically through an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) process, which should ensure that the design and layout of the project are optimized and the mitigation hierarchy is applied to minimize negative impacts. This GPN is intended primarily for companies that hire contractors that take part in construction, and operations and maintenance (O and M) activities in projects that are financed by IFC, and for financial institutions that receive IFC financing. The GPN provides practical information for each step in the contractor management process, from preparing the request for proposal (RFP) to contract termination.
