Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank Group (WBG) has focused
on reducing the environmental impacts of its internal
operations and improving corporate environmental practices
since 2002, when the WBG President announced WBG's
commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The
objective of this document is to summarize the actions WBG
has taken thus far to reduce environmental impacts from
internal operations and present an action plan to further
integrate sustainability into WBG's internal
operations. Although this work focuses on the environmental
impact associated with WBG daily operations, the links
between WBG policies and actions related to environmental
management and the financial/social considerations are
significant. The International Finance Corporation (IFC)
footprint and World Bank corporate responsibility teams
facilitate the sustainability commitment of the WBG and
monitor and track its progress. These teams provide
technical information and research support to a dedicated
group of champions throughout the WBG who implement emission
reduction activities. Budget for these activities flows
primarily through the environment department, the general
services department, and IFC facilities management and
administration. The environment department and IFC
facilities management each resource one staff member to
provide back-up research support and to monitor and report
on environmental metrics, with building engineers and
managers and project officers from across the WBG contributing.
