Standards

Cerise+SPTF develop standards using a methodology that is by the people and for the people.

We write standards because our members ask us to identify what practices they can implement to achieve social and environmental impact, and we answer that question by surveying financial service providers around the world to learn what has worked for them.

Our Current Standards:

The Universal Standards for Social and Environmental Performance Management

The Client Protection Standards & Pathway

The Management Standards for the Responsible Provision of Digital Financial Services (DFS)

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.
