e-MFP Green Inclusive & Climate Smart Finance Action Group

SPTF is proud to be part of e-MFP’s Green Inclusive & Climate Smart Finance Action Group. The action group brings together microfinance practitioners to discuss and exchange experiences in dealing with environmental issues and to create new practical tools to advance environmental microfinance.

 

The members of this action group have been invaluable in the creation of Dimension 7 of the Universal Standards for Social and Environmental Performance. SPTF and e-MFP have also aligned the Universal Standards and the Green Index 3.0. The Green Index 3.0 adds additional details for a more in-depth analysis at the indicators level, including detailed quantitative indicators. For more info please see this short presentation.

Practical Dreamers

Cerise+SPTF are practical dreamers. Since our origins in the late 1990s-early 2000s (when inclusive finance was better known as microfinance), there has been steadily growing interest in social performance: in making sure that vulnerable low-income clients are not exploited, and that products and services help create better lives. Many organizations have published high-level principles and frameworks. Cerise+SPTF translate those aspirations into concrete, practical actions.
