IFC GREEN BOND IMPACT REPORT FY16
Introduction
We are pleased to present this annual Impact Report for IFC’s Green Bond Program covering financial year 2016 (FY16). IFC remains one of the world’s largest financiers of climate-smart projects for developing countries. Since 2005, IFC has invested more than $15 billion in long-term financing for renewable power, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and green buildings, with an additional $10 billion in core mobilization. We believe that climate change is a fundamental threat to development in our lifetime, with the potential to impact millions, threatening agricultural livelihoods, increasing the incidence of natural disasters and affecting water, energy, and food supplies. A recent World Bank study “Shock Waves: Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty” shows that if not properly mitigated, climate change can push more than 100 million people back into poverty over the next 15 years, hitting the poorest regions of the world – Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia – the hardest. At the World Bank Group's 2015 Annual Meetings, President Jim Kim pledged to step up the Group’s investments in climate to 28% of annual commitments and leverage an additional $13 billion of private sector co-financing by year 2020. Two months later, the historic climate agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris was made. The Paris Agreement is a major turning point for the global climate change agenda, laying a green path for greater opportunities for the private sector. Aligned with COP21 agenda, IFC is in an unprecedented position to help its private sector clients capture opportunities through investments, innovative financing, and advisory work to address regulatory and policy obstacles to green growth. As part of the World Bank Group Climate Change Action Plan adopted in April 2016, IFC released its Climate Implementation Plan, which serves as a roadmap to achieving the pledge set by President Kim through the following objectives: 1) Scale climate investments to reach 28% of IFC’s annual financing by 2020 2) Catalyze $13 billion in private sector capital annually by 2020 to climate sectors through mobilization, aggregation, and de-risking products 3) Maximize impact through GHG emissions reduction and resilience of investments 4) Account for climate risk in IFC’s investment selection. Developing innovative financing products to spur additional climate investments through the capital markets is key to IFC’s mandate and underpins its commitment to promote continued growth and development of the Green Bond market. We believe that capital markets have an indispensable role to play in channeling money into much needed climate investments by leveraging private capital.
“Climate change impacts everyone, but the effects will be most acutely felt by people in developing countries. The response to IFC’s Green Bonds demonstrates the enormous potential of capital market mechanisms to mobilize long-term investment for climate finance and leverage the power of the private sector.”
IFC Vice President and Treasurer Jingdong Hua

Green Bond Eligible Projects Summary - FY16
COMMITMENTS In FY16 1 , IFC’s climate-related investments were close to $2 billion and an additional $1.3 billion was raised through core mobilization, for a total of $3.3 billion invested in climate-smart projects. About 55% of IFC’s overall climate related portfolio was eligible for financing from Green Bond Proceeds. In FY16, new Green Bond financed commitments were close to $1 billion in 35 projects across 22 countries , including 16 new markets such as Bangladesh, Cambodia and China. Investments in green banking and green buildings represent the two largest sectors, amounting to 59% of the Green Bond financed projects. DISBURSEMENTS During the fiscal year, disbursements to Green Bond Eligible Projects amounted to $754 million , of which $328 million was disbursed to projects committed in FY16.
IMPACT The 35 new projects financed through Green Bonds in FY16 contribute approximately 1 million MWh in annual renewable energy generation , sufficient to supply close to 74,000 US households with electricity for one year. 2 The contribution to GHG emissions reduced through new projects was 1.3 million tons of CO 2 -equivalent, which compares to taking around 275,000 cars off the road. 3 New projects in the wind energy and the green banking sectors account for 57% of the total GHGs reduced.

Industry Engagement
Throughout FY16, IFC continued its leadership role in developing the Green Bond market as an active member of the Executive Committee (EXCOM) for the Green Bond Principles (GBP). IFC actively participated in the drafting of the
updated version of the voluntary set of transparency and disclosure guidelines published in June 2016. The GBP have gained broad market acceptance, as good practice driving transparency and accountability, and membership grew close to 125 members in 2016. IFC also participated in the EXCOM’s five working groups on strategic topics, such as Standard/Assurance, Defining Green, Impact Reporting, Database/Index criteria, and New Markets. IFC was re-elected for a two-year term on the EXCOM in June 2016. The G20 Green Finance Study Group (GFSG) was set up in January 2016 and IFC has been a key member of the group tasked with the mandate to “identify institutional and market barriers to green finance, and based on country experiences, develop options on how to enhance the ability of the financial system to mobilize private capital for green investment.” Emerging from the GFSG’s work are a number of options for the G20 country authorities to consider for voluntary adoption to enhance the ability of the financial system to mobilize private capital for green investment. In September 2016, at the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, China, global leaders endorsed a set of recommendations 4 to boost green finance and called on the IFC-supported Sustainable Banking Network (SBN) and other partners to help lead the implementation. This marks the recognition of the central role the financial sector plays in reducing
“I N ADDITION TO IFC’ S STRONG CREDIT PROFILE , THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS OF IFC’ S G REEN B OND PROGRAM THAT DISTINGUISH IT AS ESPECIALLY ATTRACTIVE FOR INVESTORS : IMPACT REPORTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SECOND OPINION . IFC’ S WORK TOWARD HARMONIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT METRICS AND ITS ENGAGEMENT WITH C ICERO FOR A SECOND PARTY OPINION ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL AS INVESTORS LOOK TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF PROJECTS IN A G REEN B OND PROGRAM .”

climate change and advancing environmentally sustainable growth. Formed in 2012, SBN brings together central banks, regulators and trade associations from across emerging markets that seek to transform domestic financial systems to advance national goals on climate change and sustainable growth. IFC acts as secretariat for SBN and contributes its expertise in establishing and implementing environmental, social and governance standards that have become the global benchmark for finance across emerging markets.

IFC’s Green Bond Process
IFC Green Bond Program follows best market practice, and is compliant with the Green Bond Principles.
USE OF PROCEEDS Proceeds from IFC’s Green Bonds are allocated to a special sub-portfolio that is linked to lending operations for climate-related projects (“Eligible Projects”). Eligible Projects are selected from IFC’s climate-related loan portfolio, which comprises projects that meet IFC Definitions and Metrics for Climate-Related Activities 5 . Only the loan portions of the projects are eligible for funding via Green Bond Proceeds (equity investments and guarantees are ineligible). The sub- portfolio is credited as disbursements are made towards Eligible Projects.
Projects eligible for Green Bond financing include the following sectors:
Renewable energy (RE): investments in equipment, systems and services which enable the productive use of energy from renewable resources such as wind, hydro, solar and geothermal production Energy efficiency (EE): investments in equipment, systems and services which result in a reduced use of energy per unit of product or service generated, such as waste heat recovery, cogeneration, building insulation, energy loss reduction in transmission and distribution Resource efficiency: investments to improve industrial processes, services and products that enhance the conversion efficiency of manufacturing inputs (energy, water, raw materials) to saleable outputs, including reduction of impact at source
5 Please see IFC’s definitions here: http://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/Topics_Ext_Content/IFC_External_Corporate_Site/CB_Home/Measuring+Reporting/
Page 5
IFC GREEN BOND IMPACT REPORT FY16
Cleaner technology production: investments in manufacturing of components used in energy efficiency or renewable energy, such as solar photovoltaics, manufacture of turbines or building insulation materials Financial intermediaries: lending to financial intermediaries with the requirement that IFC’s investments are on-lent to climate projects that fit IFC’s Green Bond eligibility criteria Sustainable forestry: investments that reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation by supporting sustainable management of natural forests.
EVALUATION AND SELECTION In addition to meeting the Green Bond Principles eligibility criteria, all Eligible Projects have been implemented in consistency with IFC’s Sustainability Framework, including the Performance Standards and World Bank Group EHS Guidelines, IFC’s Corporate Governance Framework and disclosure requirements of the IFC Access to Information Policy. All projects have undergone a rigorous ESG due diligence process and are subject to ongoing monitoring and supervision. IFC’s project evaluation and selection criteria have been reviewed by the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research at the University of Oslo (CICERO). CICERO’s Second Opinion is published on IFC’s website. MANAGEMENT OF PROCEEDS All proceeds from IFC Green Bonds are set aside in a designated Green Cash Account and are invested in accordance with IFC’s conservative liquidity policy until disbursement to Eligible Projects. Disbursement requests for Eligible Projects take place in accordance with IFC’s established policies and procedures and are oftenmade over a period of time depending on project milestones etc. In some cases, the climate-related component of a project supported by Green Bonds may be a part of a larger investment. In such cases, the Green Bond portfolio only finances the eligible portion of the project.
Monitoring of the projects comprises regular reports by the investee company on project activities and performance throughout the lifetime of investment.

Green Bonds Issuance Program - FY16
In FY16, IFC issued 23 Green Bonds in public, private and retail format across seven currencies amounting to a total volume of $1.4 billion, the highest annual issuance since the inception of IFC’s Green Bond Program. Highlighted issuances include: two offerings in November 2015 - a debut ZAR 1 billion ($71 million) Green Bond, which was the first Green Bond issued by a multilateral in South Africa, and a $500 million Green Bond, marking IFC’s return to green benchmark issuances. In March 2016, IFC issued a 10 year $700 million Green Bond, IFC’s longest tenor Green Bond to date. The bond was subsequently reopened in July 2016 and increased to $1.2 billion, subscribed to by a well-diversified range of around 65 investors.
During the year, the first ever $1 billion dollar Green Bond issued by IFC in February 2013, matured in May 2016.
As of June 30, 2016, IFC’s outstanding Green Bonds amounted to around $3 billion.

Impact Reporting
IMPACT INDICATORS IFC reports on a number of core indicators for projects included in the Green Bond Program in accordance with the Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting developed by a group of multilateral development banks including IFC. The four core indicators are as follows:
1.
Annual energy savings
2.
Annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduced or avoided
3.
Annual renewable energy produced
4.
Capacity of renewable energy plant(s) constructed or rehabilitated
IFC ACCESS TO INFORMATION POLICY The Access to Information Policy is the cornerstone of IFC’s Sustainability Framework and articulates IFC’s commitment to transparency. IFC seeks to provide accurate and timely information regarding our investment and advisory services to clients, partners, and stakeholders. We disclose information relevant to project, environmental, and social issues, and expected development impact, prior to consideration by our Board of Directors. Through the life of each project IFC updates environmental and social information as necessary to ensure the continued accuracy of the information disclosed prior to investment. This commitment also applies to projects funded by the Green Bond Program.
Page 11
IFC GREEN BOND IMPACT REPORT FY16
Interpreting Impact Indicators
IFC’s investment is pro-rated against the climate related portion of the project to derive the amount of the “Climate Loan Committed.” Climate impact indicators are tracked on a project-level basis and have not been pro-rated for the portion of IFC’s contribution. Some climate projects contribute to mitigation, but do not have an agreed methodology for impact’s calculation. Investments in financial intermediaries ensure that climate finance is available for smaller clients that IFC cannot reach directly, such as small and medium sized enterprises. It is important for IFC that our partner financial intermediaries assess climate impact of their investments, and therefore, IFC has developed a web-based application CAFI (Climate Assessment for FI Investment), which enables the partners to monitor the results of investments in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate adaptation, and special climate. 6
IFC’s GHG Methodology and Climate Related Definitions and Metrics are available at IFC’s Climate Business website. 7
The Impact Assessment table allows for quantification of a few core indicators, but it is important to appreciate the limitations of the data reported. The main considerations to adequately interpret the results are:
• Scope of results: Reporting is based on “ex-ante” estimates at the time of project appraisal and mostly for direct project effects.
• Uncertainty: An important consideration in estimating impact indicators is that they are often based on a number of assumptions. While technical experts aim tomake sound and conservative assumptions that are reasonable based on the information available at the time, the actual impact of the projects may diverge from initial projections. In general, behavioral changes or shifts in baseline conditions can cause deviations from projections. • Comparability: Caution should be taken in comparing projects, sectors, or whole portfolios because baselines (and base years) and calculation methods may vary significantly. In addition, the cost structures between countries will also vary, so that developing cost-efficiency calculations (results per unit of amount invested in Eligible Projects) could place smaller countries with limited economies of scale at a disadvantage and will not take into consideration country specific context. • Omissions: Projects may have impact across a much wider range of indicators than captured in the Impact Assessment table and may have other important development impacts. Furthermore, there may be some projects for which the proposed core indicator is either not applicable or the data is not available. While IFC takes efforts to improve the consistency and availability of reported metrics over time, projects with climate impact can range over a wide diversity of sectors and sub-sectors making complete harmonization of reporting metrics challenging.

Impact Assessment: Green Bond Eligible Projects Committed in FY16 and FY15
The Impact Assessment table below lists the expected climate results from projects funded, in whole or in part, with IFC Green Bond proceeds. The projects are organized by sector and are categorized by project type as RE for renewable energy, EE for energy efficiency and RE/EE for combined and other mitigation.
Reporting is based on “ex-ante” estimates at the time of project appraisal. As the Impact Assessment table includes the estimated results of projects that are still in the construction or implementation phase, there is no guarantee that these results will ultimately materialize. The reporting is thus not intended to provide actual results achieved in a specific year or reporting period.
The Impact Assessment covers only projects committed in FY16 and FY15. The table does not include impact indicators of projects committed in earlier years.
As the table below illustrated, new Green Bond Eligible Project commitments for two years - FY16 and FY15 - totaled $2.1 billion. Disbursements for the projects committed in FY16 and FY15 amounted to $1.2 billion. These projects are expected to contribute 4.5millionMWh in annual renewable energy generation, sufficient to supply over 330,000 US households with electricity. They also should yield total GHG reductions of almost 3.8 million tons of CO2-equivalent, comparable to taking around 800,000 cars off the road.

MMI METRO LINE (37093) Expanding the Metro Network in Istanbul Istanbul is home to nearly 20 percent of Turkey’s population and with a 3.45 percent annual growth rate, expects to add around three million more inhabitants by 2023. The population growth presents significant challenges to the city’s infrastructure. In an effort to support this growth in an environmentally sustainable manner, the Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul (MMI) plans to shift urban travel from road to rail.
Expanding the metro network will allowmore people to take rail transport, alleviating traffic
congestion in favor of a cleaner and more efficient commute. Essential for the plan is bolstering of a vital east- west public transit axis and constructing of Kabatas-Mediciyekoy metro line on the European side of the Bosporus River. IFC led a collective deal together with Intesa Sanpaolo to provide 13-year syndicated financing of $120 million to construct 5.3 kilometer Kabatas-Mediciyekoy metro line, adding three new stations to the metro network. IFC committed $65.3 million to the project on its own account. Running through seven northern districts of Istanbul, the expansion interconnects four existing metro lines, positioning it as an integral part of MMI’s transportation master plan and Istanbul’s infrastructure. The project aims to increase the total daily rail trips to move 450,000 additional passenger trips per weekday and to reduce the average travel commute time. Sustainable city development is a priority for IFC, and programs such as the MMI rail expansion will improve urban mobility and connectivity through an integrated, efficient, and environmentally friendly public transport system.

AZURE PROJECTS (P38005, P38003 AND P38004) Solar Energy in India
India has an ambitious goal to reach 100,000 MW of solar capacity by 2022, requiring $100 billion in new investments. Although the Indian solar sector has indeed made remarkable gains, it faces critical bottlenecks and shortcomings within the power sector. Approximately 300 million people, close to 25 percent of the country’s population, remain without electricity. In an effort to overcome these challenges and light up more homes and businesses, Azure Power’s most recent solar developments in Karnataka, India’s largest state by population, are increasing the availability of clean, efficient, and dependable energy for all.
As one of the country’s top providers of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy technology and an established IFC partner since 2010, Azure Power builds, owns, and operates small and medium-scale solar plants with a total installed capacity of 356MW. Azure currently has 17 large solar panel installations under operation and another 11 under development – contributing to the company’s goal to deliver 5,000 MW of solar power to the Indian grid by the end of 2020. In 2016, Azure won three separate bids amounting to 130 MW, which together form a large solar complex in the Indian state of Karnataka.
IFC made a loan of US$30 million to three wholly owned subsidiaries: Azure PV, Azure Raj, and Azure Sunrise to help finance these three plants. The long-term nature of IFC’s loanmatches the Azure solar plants’ longevity, ensuring proper financing for years to come. The Karnataka Azure solar complex will soon contribute 226 GWh of electricity yearly with an installed capacity of 130 MW, reaching approximately 116,000 people. It’s estimated that the Karnataka Azure development will help to avoid greenhouse-gas emissions equivalent to approximately 166,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
IFC’s work with the Indian solar industry has a notable demonstration effect and will help mature the market as solar energy becomes more viable and renewable energy becomes more attractive to foreign investors.
