Governance

Number of board members: Fill in the number of board members.

Number of women board members: Fill in the number of women board members. This indicator is linked to ESG risks analysis to calculate Board gender diversity, and in particular in Europe on  Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation - Principal Adverse Impact indicator PAI 13

Branches

Number of branches: Fill in the total number of branches and points of services

Branches in urban areas: Areas constituting a city or town with higher density of population in comparison to the surrounding areas, where the majority of people do not dependent upon agriculture as main economic activity.

Branches in rural areas: Settled places outside towns and cities, such as villages, hamlets, where most livelihoods are farm based. Farm includes both crop and non crop agriculture, livestock. fishing, etc.

Number of branches in excluded/poor areas: areas that lack access to basic services such as water, electricity, education, health, sanitation, infrastructure; areas with basic services but that are far removed from urban centers.

  • In rural zones, these are areas characterized by poor infrastructure (roads, markets), lack of access to public services, and subsistence farming.
  • In urban zones, these are areas characterized by a high concentration of poor people, lack of access to public services, high unemployment (such as migrant settlements).

Number of branches/point of sales located in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas where activities can negatively affect those areas: Biodiversity-sensitive areas means Natura 2000 network of protected areas, UNESCO World Heritage sites and Key Biodiversity Areas (ā€˜KBAsā€™), as well as other protected areas.

[Indicator linked to ESG risks analysis, and in particular in Europe on  Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation - Principal Adverse Impact indicator PAI 7 - Share of investments in investee companies with sites/operations located in or near to biodiversity-sensitive areas]

The provider should identify the number of branches located in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas with activities that can negatively affect those areas. The following websites can be used to define these areas at country level and/ or provide clear country map with identified biodiversity-sensitive areas so that it is possible to map with branches. The FSPā€™s branches are mapped with biodiversity-sensitive areas. For the branches in or near the biodiversity-sensitive areas, the segmentation of portfolio is checked. If activities can negatively affect those areas (agriculture/ forestry, charcoal production, etc.), the branches should be counted.
To identify the branches, the provider can check the following websites:

  • World Database on Protected Area
  • IBAT: The IBAT website is userfriendly but address of branches/point of sales need to be added with Latitude and Longitude. This can be found by using Google Maps. (Put the address in Google Maps. Right-click the place on the map. This will open a pop-up window. You can find your latitude and longitude in decimal format at the top. To copy the coordinates, left click on the altitude and longitude.)

If the provider has one or more branches where activities can negatively affect biodiversity-sensitive areas, check the mitigation measures taken to protect biodiversity. For this, check answers and comments on Dimension 7 of the Universal Standards, in particular, what policies, procedures, activities are implemented. See 7.A.1.1, 7.A.2.1, 7.A.2.1.3, 7.B.2.2 and 7.B.2.4.

Conclusion: for reporting:

  • 0 if no branches near biodiversity sensitive areas
  • 0 if Dimension 7 shows that a formal strategy and policy to protect biodiversity if implemented.

Loan portfolio by sector

This segmentation is based on the NACE segmentation. NACE (Nomenclature of Economic Activities) is the European statistical classification of economic activities. For each sector, we provide the links with the IFC Factsheets to identify risks and how to mitigate them. The online ESG tool of the FMO also has a good overview of specific risks and measures to address them for different sectors of the portfolio.

1 - AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING (NACE A): Please provide Level 2 information if Level 1 represents more than 5% of the total GLP [and more than an absolute amount to be defined]
If Agriculture, forestry and fishing portfolio is more than 5% of the total GLP [or more than XXX USD equivalent], check 7B22 on identification of adverse impact, and 7B24 on categorization by level of risks and implementation of mitigation actions, 7C21 and 7C22 on support with awareness raising and capacity building.

If scores on these 4 indicators show good practices, then PAI 2.11= NO

If scores on these 4 indicators is low, then PAI 2.11 could be "Yes" or "Maybe" and additional check should be done: issues on non sustainable agri in the country: deforestation, coffee with no control on water, etc.

This could be checked with Fair trade guidance on ESG risks for example

Still need to define the thresholds: amount of portfolio in agri, and what is "not sustainable practices"?

Social check

Sanction (e.g. fine/administrative/judicial sanctions) or non-monetary punishment regarding to the following topics:

  • Business practices against consumers or usury against national Consumer Protection Law
  • Non compliance of National Labour Law
  • Funding environmentally damaging activities?
  • Tax evasion or avoidance
  • Non compliance with national Anti Money Laundering Law

Report as violations all internal findings that have been identified and reported to financial authorities/supervisor/ legal instances.

In case YES sanctions/punishments have been identified for each topic please check:

  • the year when the sanctions/punishments occur,
  • total amount (fines of equivalent monetary value),
  • action plans to put in place to avoid being eligible to such sanctions/punishments in the future.

You can also find information about it in audited financial statements and/or internal audit reports and can also do crosschecks with Internal Audit and Compliace Department to verify data.

Business practices: All behaviors in credit operations and sales with direct financing that violate the rights of consumers. In multiple cases, theses sanctions are the result of complaints filed at the Consumer Protection Institution by consumers, as well as by some local law enforcement authorities.

Labor rights: If publically available, verify if there are labor-related disputes that the providers are facing at the National Labor Court (e.g. with Compliance/Legal Department).

Environmentally damaging activities: Providers are at risk of decreased cash flows due to unforeseen environmental costs faced by borrowers. These costs can include compliance with costly environmental regulations, fines for non compliance, clean up costs, lost revenue from damaged reputation, production limitation or termination. Legal and regulatory system responsible for such environmental regulatory enforcement are often being weak. Supervisors are not checking this point or given sanctions on it. Providers are also at reputational and media risk for environmental activism by community or other public interest groups (NGOs). Therefore, verify if the provider is funding environmentally damaging activities. If so, is it transitioning away, or how can it transition away, to more environmentally friendly activities.

Tax evasion: Verify if the provider is tax compliant and is providing to the relevant authorities information that is relevant or required by law for purposes of the correct determination of taxes to be assessed in connection with their operations (e.g. with Finance Department/infomation in Factsheets/audited financial statements).
Anti Money Laundering: Providers (regulated and unregulated) are supervised by national authorities according to national AML/FT law. For AML/FT please also check KYC report and if the provider has appropiate anti-money laundering systems in place. You can also do crosschecks with  Compliance Department.

Dispute in courts, lawsuits, convictions for the provider or its employees related to the following topics:

  • Dispute in courts with current or former clients
  • Anti-Money Laundry/Fight against Terrorism
  • Corruption including extorsion and bribery

Report as violations all internal findings that have been identified and reported to financial authorities/supervisor/ legal instances. Verify if there are individual civil cases / lawsuits that the provider is facing with employees or clients (e.g. with Compliance/Legal Department).

Internal audit checks has identified and/or reported instances of:

  • Fraud
  • Money laundering scheme or financing of terrorism (regarding borrowers)
  • Bribery/corruption (regarding borrowers)

Verify with Internal Audit (internal audit reports) or equivalent; as well as with management and during field visits (cross-check). If yes, please detail the number, nature and gravity of cases; as well as the actions taken after the identification.

Providers can use the question "How likely is it that you would recommend [product/service] to a friend or colleague?" to collect data from clients against this metric. Respondents should rank their likelihood to recommend on a 0-10 scale, with 0 representing "not at all likely to recommend," 10 representing "extremely likely to recommend,"and 5 representing "neutral." Clients ranking themselves as a 9 or 10 are considered "extremely likely" or "Promoters." Clients ranking themselves as a 7 or 8 are considered "Passives." Clients ranking themselves as 0-6 are considered "unlikely" or "Detractors."
