The International Finance Corporation (IFC) believes there has never been a better time to make profitable investments in sustainable development. Their recently released video highlights what IFC is doing to support viable projects in renewable energy, energy efficiency, green buildings, and sustainable agriculture and resource efficiency.

IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector. Holding a $48.8 billion portfolio touching almost every major industry, we now reach millions of people in more than 100 countries, creating jobs, raising living standards, and building a better future. The IFC helps developing countries achieve sustainable growth by financing investment, providing advisory services to businesses and governments, and mobilizing capital in the international financial markets.

Established in 1956, IFC is owned by 184 member countries, a group that collectively determines our policies. Our work in more than a 100 developing countries allows companies and financial institutions in emerging markets to create jobs, generate tax revenues, improve corporate governance and environmental performance, and contribute to their local communities.

IFC’s vision is that people should have the opportunity to escape poverty and improve their lives.
