Dimension 7: Environmental Performance Management
In a context where climate change and environmental degradation are already affecting every region of our planet, and in particular the most vulnerable populations, it is clear that financial and social sustainability objectives will not be achieved without considering environmental issues. FSPs should seriously engage in improving their environmental performance, avoiding to generate negative environmental impacts and contributing to foster climate change adaptation, environmental risk mitigation and regenerative solutions.
