Project Description

The overall program goal for Financial Valuation Tool Phase 2 is to make natural resource and infrastructure clients more competitive and sustainable by supporting company strategies based on IFC's unique financial valuation methodology. This will be achieved by developing the Financial Valuation Tool for Sustainability Strategies for the agribusiness, forestry and infrastructure sectors, and refining the existing extractives tool. The project will consist of the following components: 1: Industry engagement: Consultation with companies to document and analyze non-technical operational risk and identify quantifiable benefits derived from sustainability investments to create a market diagnostic (cases primarily focused on agribusiness and forestry) 2a: Develop a tailored financial valuation methodology for agribusiness, forestry and infra sectors; 2b: Field-test financial valuation methodology with at least 2 projects in agri and/or forestry sectors; 3: Enhance existing financial valuation tools for extractive industry, including smaller companies; 4: Disseminate the methodology to contribute to changing industry standards: i) establish 1 global partnership with a selected relevant organization (e.g. industry council, academic institution or think tank); ii) reach 50 companies globally through various dissemination approaches.
