Environmental and Social Policy (E&S)
In addition to development impacts, FinDev Canada aims to fully understand the human rights and environmental, social and governance (E&S) risks presented by the businesses it supports. FinDev Canada’s E&S Assessment Policy outlines the approach taken to mitigate negative human rights and environmental and social risks and potentially improve these conditions in those businesses.

FinDev Canada's E&S Policy is being implemented over time, including the development of companion guidance and procedures, as well as staff training. In 2020, we developed an implementation plan that details the many processes and controls that FinDev Canada has put in place to support us in delivering on our E&S Policy commitments. It also outlines the key areas where we will focus our efforts to close any remaining gaps, with full compliance expected before 2023. We will provide regular updates on our progress through implementation reports available here.
