FMO has developed various tools to support its clients in terms of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk management.
The tools below are specifically targeted at private equity investment funds and microfinance institutions (MFIs) and small and medium enterprise (SME) banks.
In collaboration with Steward Redqueen, FMO has developed a web-based Environmental & Social Management System (ESMS) tool, accessible to anyone. The end goal: to empower banks and financial institutions to be supported in managing various aspects of ESG risk on both transaction and portfolio levels.
