Safeguard Documents

The World Bank Environmental and Social Framework sets out the World Bank’s commitment to sustainable development, through a policy and a set of Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) designed to support projects, with the aim of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity.
