Development of EIF social scoring modelKey consideration

▪ Development of a pragmatic social performance measurement approach

▪ Consistency with the current standards, i.e. USSPM, ALINUS, EU CGC

▪ Endorsement and alignment with sector best practices (“do not reinvent the wheel”)

▪ Relevancy and calibration to the objective of the mandate and EIF strategy

▪ Availability and accessibility of data: limiting unnecessary additional reporting

burden

▪ Objectivity of selected indicators, leaving limited room for subjectivity

▪ Balance between qualitative and quantitative indicators (process vs. outcomes)

▪ Self assessment based: easy to collect and verify, hereby adding minimum

additional work during the due diligence

▪ Building internal know-how and expertise in terms of social performance

management

▪ Independence of the tool

ADA&LMDF experience in using SPI4-Alinus_ challenges

• Alinus is an extensive tool to promote and rise awareness among MFIs

• High added value for investors in order to benchmark and communicate

• High interest of MFIs but most of them still demand support to implement it

• Sharing results with the MFI is one of the most valuable result (think about an Alinus report)

• Facilitating the filling of ALL the components• Small MFIs are still reluctant…

Indirect focus

STATUS. In spite of the cumulative risks and impacts of multiple small / medium enterprises, E&S in SME financing largely undermanaged: • Upscaling MFIs (small enterprises) rarely have an ESMS in place.• Downscaling banks (medium enterprises) often have an ESMS in

place, sometimes on paper, sometimes in use. Usually SMEs are classified as low risk, without further assessment.

• E&S regulation in SMEs: good and necessary starting point but not enforced enough in majority of emerging and developing countries.

RATIONALE. Since SMEs fall between MFIs' borrowers and large borrowers, we need an approach that is-between both worlds

Objective

✓Promote Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS) commensurate to SMEs, that support incremental improvement of SMEs E&S practices.

X Not only about exclusion

X Achieving alignment with good E&S practices requires a pragmatic approach

ESMS = Environmental and Social Management System

Risks but alsoopportunities

Principle 1: Modular

Modularity allows having a common ESMS framework applicable to FSPs financing very different types of SMEs.

SAME. ESMS framework, logic and process.

DIFFERENT. Definitions, depth of analysis.

E.g. E&S checklists will always be integrated in loan appraisals. But: the high risks checklist of an FSP financing small enterprises will be very basic compared to the one of an FSP financing medium enterprises

Principle 2: Commensurate

Opportunity.Use the ESMS to turn gaps into opportunities and prioritize measures with a positive impact on E&S, business performance and business capacity to meet loan repayments.

ESMS should be commensurate to:

✓E&S risks/impacts faced by the FI (driven by the borrowers’ activities, regional/local contextual risks)

ESMS should take into consideration:✓type of financing

✓leverage the FI has in obtaining mitigation measures from borrowers

✓E&S opportunities

SME finance institution: manage E&S (ESMS)

1. Define E&S policy

2. Classify loans by E&S risk category

3. Assess the SMEs risks and opportunities

4. Measures to improve SMEs

E&S

Monitor SME E&S progress

Report, analyzeE&S, review

ESMS

(individual/cluster)

Guidance for SME Finance Institutions

Guidance on how to set up an ESMS (selection of tools):

• FMO MFI and SME sustainability guidance e-learning tool (more suitable for small enterprises);

• CDC toolkit to categorize and manage E&S risk and opportunities (more suitable for medium enterprises).

institutions systems

1. Identify SME

a. Common definition of SMEs for all investments in all countries

b. National definition of SME for all investments in the same country;

c. Adopt the definition of SME used by each investee;d. Adopt the definition provided by the fund investor

2. Identify SME finance institutions

a. Adopt a common definition of SME finance institution(e.g.: >50% outstanding portfolio in SMEs) and of MFI with a SME component (e.g. >20%-30% outstanding portfolio in SMEs).

b. Adopt the way investees define themselves

3. Classify SME finance institutions

a. Define E&S risk categories according to the % of the investee portfolio exposed to E&S risks, defined for example based on high risk sector and larger loan size. High risk sectors can be adopted from international sectoral matrix (e.g. FMO, CDC, see annex 3) or adjusted based on the country.

b. Define which E&S risk level will trigger an assessment of the SME finance institution ESMS.

High risk sectors: use international sectoral matrix(e.g. FMO, CDC) or adjust based on the country

4. Assess the sustainable

performance of SME

finance institutions

a. Assess the ESMS;

b. Assess the Sustainable performance (ESMS + other 6 dimensions)

c. Assess a customized selection from the Sustainable performance indicators’ list.

5. Promote the ESMS improvement

a. Agree on E&S Action Plans to improve the ESMS based on the assessment;

b. Investor leverage to promote improvements depends on the type of financing (debt / equity; short / long term) and TA to support the ESMS development

6. Monitor the ESMS improvement

a. Monitor the improvement of SME finance institutions ESMS during the course of the loan or at loan renewal

Agenda

8 1

As impact investing continues to grow, several

initiatives are working to help investors navigate

the different investment opportunities

SPTF is coordinating efforts with these initiatives to help shape the tools and resources being developed on financial inclusion

8 2

Why is SPTF involved and how is this

relevant to you?

8 3

• Share the experience of financial inclusion

▫ Collaboration, working towards common objectives

▫ Development and implementation of standards, common audit and monitoring tools, advancement of outcomes management work, etc

• Financial inclusion is a large sector of impact investment and can help pave the way of less-mature sectors – seen as “example”

• Ensure coordination with broader impact investment initiatives – as prioritized by many of you

• Opportunity to shape frameworks and tools that can be used by asset owners and investors throughout the broader investments sector

8 4

• Created by the GIIN to help investors select impact strategies and adopt metrics that indicate performance toward their goals

• Developed in consultation with industry experts, impact investors, and standards setters

• First three themes were developed in house:

▫ Affordable housing in developed markets

▫ Clean energy in emerging markets

▫ Smallholder agriculture in emerging markets

• Partnership with SPTF to develop the financial inclusion theme recognizing the leadership and expertise of our members in this sector

clients to identify reasons for OID and

priority issues

In case FSPs are at risk they need to pass based on criteria defined

Mystery Shopping : Voice from the Field

• Develop survey using MIMOSA client

survey and MCWG (PRFI) Risk Study.

• Administer survey on field staff and

clients in the hotspot areas.

• Analyze results to inform priority issues.

➢ Survey will help understand drivers of OID,

such as the level of competition amongst

FSPs, capacity and commitment of field

staff, reasons for client default, stress levels

at client level and other issues that could

drive OID.

Next steps

Roll-out and usage:

• Sa-Dhan – SRO

• Financial Service Providers

• Reserve Bank of India, SIDBI

Improvement of the tool:

• Identify priority areas

• Dig deeper on these areas – e.g., integration of lender guideline monitoring report (adapt Cambodia guidelines) for more details on multiple borrowing, refinancing, and loan to income
