FMO & CSR
It is the aim of FMO to stimulate investment in the private sector of developing countries emerging markets which promotes sustainable economical, ecological and social development of the surroundings. FMO works very closely with local partners parties and commercial investors, such as international banks and companies. Not as competition, but as an additional party. Through our special capital structure, we are able to provide financing which other parties are unable or unwilling to provide in sufficient amounts or under reasonable conditions. FMO’s role supplements that of the market as we can go beyond the point where other parties are forced to stop. FMO joined UNEP FI on November 1st, 1999 and has been actively working in various Regional Taskforces, the Working Group on the GRI supplement for FIs, and the Working Group on Sustainability Management & Reporting.
