4. SUSTAINABILITY AND IIB
4 ACTIVITY REPORT 2020
Environmental & Social Policy Framework
■ Assessment of environmental and social risks of each
project is currently based on the Environmental and
Social Impact Guidelines and is taken into consideration
by the Credit Committee on par with documentation
prepared by other expert departments.
■ In December 2019 an updated IIB Policy on
Environmental and Social Sustainability was approved
by the Board of Directors.
■ In July 2019 Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) included IIB in the list of
international institutions eligible for acceptance of the
Official Development Assistance (ODA).
From that moment on, a certain share of contributions
made by OECD member states to IIB’s equity from
2018 onwards can be reported by donor states as a
“contribution to development support” and as ODA-
eligible amounts. This also helps to comply with the UN
recommendations regarding contributions made by
developed countries to developing countries, set at
0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI).
The ODA coefficient for IIB was approved at
29%.
■ In May 2020 IIB presented its first annual Report about
developmental activities towards developing countries
to the OECD for the year 2019.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
■ Pursuant to the existing internal plan to measure the
development impact from the projects financed in order to
raise awareness among investors, rating agencies, partner IFIs
and international financial community on the Bank’s impact in
achieving SDGs outlined by the United Nations, IIB has
performed a portfolio breakdown by purposes of finance and
targeted SDG.
More than 80% of the Loan and Documentary
portfolio amount relates to the SDGs highlighted
below
SDG 3: Good health and well-being for people
SDG 5: Gender equality
SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy
SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities
