GCPF focuses on sustainable investments in clean energy projects in emerging and developing markets with a positive impact on the climate. The fund carefully manages social and environmental risks in this context. In addition to meeting general financing criteria, all projects funded by GCPF must comply with a set of social and environmental management criteria defined in GCPF’s Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS). GCPF monitors compliance with these criteria before and during the investment phase and takes corrective actions where necessary.
