IDLC in Environmental and Social Risk and Opportunity Management (ESROM) Workshop
In continuation with the previous two training sessions, IDLC organized another
four sessions (each with 2-day workshop) titled “Strengthening capacity and
knowledge on Environmental and Social Risk and Opportunity Management
(ESROM) among Financial Institutions in Bangladesh”. The workshop was a joint
initiative of several development financial institutions like DEG, FMO, OeEB,
Proparco, UNEPFI and their five Bangladeshi FI partners – IDLC Finance Limited,
Brac Bank, Eastern Bank, Dutch-Bangla Bank, and The City Bank. The objective
of this program was to develop capacity for bankers with respect to
environmental and social issues, identification of risks and opportunities and
finding innovative & bankable green products for the financial market.
The whole program was arranged through a set of transaction-based case
studies from the different financial institution portfolios. Prominanat figures
from financial DFIs & financial institutions as well as renowned industry
entreprenuers were present at those sessions and shared their views &
experiences. It is expected that from now on, trained bankers/credit
analysts/Relationship managers will be able to address Environmental and
Social (E&S) risks and opportunities and identify innovative and bankable
green opportunities. Furthermore, this training will assist to adopt mitigation
measures for identified risks, subsequently ensuring proper compliance and
enhancement of brand value.
Discussion session facilitated by FMO official
Participants of the 5th ESROM workshop
These six training sessions trained approximately 150 relationship officers and
credit analysts of partner FIs. 29 employees of IDLC from several departments
were present in those sessions.

Vergroenen leningen kost tijd
“De vraag is of je meer subsidies nodig hebt,
of juist meer pioniers zoals Mehbuboor Rahman”
Is financiering van groene investeringen door het midden- en kleinbedrijf in ontwikkelingslanden mogelijk zonder subsidie? In de meeste gevallen niet, zo lijkt het. Al is het maar omdat
er moet worden opgebokst tegen de gangbare subsidiëring van fossiele brandstoffen. Maar van
wie moet dat geld komen? Banken kijken naar de overheid, maar kunnen zelf ook meer doen.
Zoals investeren in hun eigen kennis van milieutechnologie.
M
ehbuboor Rahman is een doener. In krap een jaar tijd
bouwde de manager van IDLC Finance in Bangladesh een
portfolio van 15 miljoen dollar op, bestaande uit tientallen groene projecten. Bijvoorbeeld in de baksteenproductie. Je denkt er
niet als eerste aan, maar met een jaarlijkse CO2-emissie van bijna
10 miljoen ton is deze sector een topvervuiler in het dichtbevolkte Bangladesh. Dat komt vooral door de traditionele wijze van
drogen van de stenen, met openluchtvuren en dieselstook. IDLC
financierde de overstap van enkele baksteenproducenten op
nieuwe, energiezuinige droogmethodes met behulp van ovens.
Energie-efficiëntie is de gemene deler van de meeste groene
projecten in Bangladesh. Veel bedrijven kregen leningen voor het
vervangen van oude boilers of dieselaggregaten. Scheelt al gauw
30 procent aan energieverbruik, schat Rahman. Andere groene
leningen gingen naar afvalwaterzuivering en compostering van
afval. Investeringen in zonne-energie, biogas en waterkracht
zorgden voor een extra energieproductie van 377 MW. In de
snelgroeiende Bengaalse economie was het voor het eerst dat
bedrijven een beroep konden doen op giften en kredieten met
een specifiek groene bestemming. IDLC Finance stapte in deze
markt nadat de centrale bank van het land een groenfonds
opzette van 25 miljoen dollar, waarmee banken en kredietinstellingen goedkope financiering konden aanbieden.
Een goedkope lening in een ontwikkelingsland als Bangladesh
betekent een rente van 9 procent, in plaats van de normale 14 tot
18 procent. En een looptijd van minimaal vijf jaar, in vergelijking
met de maximaal vier jaar bij commerciële kredieten. De aantrekkelijke voorwaarden verklaren mede het succes van het groene
IDLC-fonds. Rahman: “De meeste ondernemers in Bangladesh
investeren alleen in milieumaatregelen als er gratis geld of
goedkope leningen beschikbaar zijn. De terugverdientijd van
dit soort maatregelen is minimaal drie jaar, en vaak langer.
Bij zonne-energie zelfs vijftien jaar. Dat kan een gemiddelde
ondernemer zich niet veroorloven.”
IDLC speelt daarop in door te werken aan bewustwording. In
het hele land organiseert het bijeenkomsten voor ondernemers,
waar de nadruk ligt op energiebesparing. “Op dat gebied zijn
de snelle winsten te behalen.” Bedrijven kunnen een gratis audit
krijgen, resulterend in een lijst met aanbevelingen voor meer
energie-efficiëntie. Ook intern is bewustwording nodig. Met
ruim twaalfhonderd werknemers is IDLC in Bangladesh de
grootste kredietinstelling buiten de banksector. Rahman:
“Een van de eerste vragen die ondernemers mij stellen over bijvoorbeeld zonne-energie is: doen jullie dat zelf ook? Wij moeten
het voorbeeld geven, dus hebben we flink geïnvesteerd in duurzame energie en energiebesparing.”
Ondanks deze inspanningen zal de markt van duurzame projecten in Bangladesh voorlopig niet zonder subsidie kunnen, denkt
Rahman. Het groene potje van de centrale bank is inmiddels leeg.
“De vraag is of we dit soort projecten nu ook op commerciële
basis kunnen financieren. Wij denken dat het daar nog te vroeg
voor is. Daarom zoeken we extern naar fondsen, waarmee we
onze gratis audits en goedkope kredieten kunnen voortzetten.”
Wat voor duurzaamheid geldt in Bangladesh, is evenzeer waar
voor investeringen in veiligheid voor werknemers. Na de rampzalige brand in de textielfabriek Rana Plaza, die aan meer dan
elfhonderd werknemers het leven kostte, zijn inmiddels duizenden textielfabrieken in het land – met steun van buitenlandse
donoren, waaronder Nederland – doorgelicht op onder meer
brandveiligheid. Dat resulteerde in waslijsten met aanbevelingen
voor de afzonderlijke bedrijven, maar die zijn weinig geneigd
maatregelen te nemen. Rahman: “Men beseft het belang misschien wel, maar de bedrijven zitten onderling in een moordende
concurrentie. Ze hebben het kapitaal niet om te investeren in

sprinklers en vluchtwegen. Natuurlijk is dat kortetermijnbeleid,
maar dit soort investeringen draagt nu eenmaal niet onmiddellijk bij aan extra verdiensten. Het is voor hen een pure kostenpost. Zonder financiële tegemoetkoming doen ze dit niet.”
Ook FMO worstelt met dit dilemma. De ontwikkelingsbank
steunt IDLC tot 2019 met een krediet van 20 miljoen dollar. Dat
geld is niet bedoeld om er extra goedkope leningen mee uit te
zetten. “De vraag is of je meer subsidies nodig hebt, of juist meer
pioniers zoals Mehbuboor Rahman”, zegt Frederik Jan van den
Bosch, manager Micro & Small Enterprise Finance bij FMO.

Is Nederland belangrijk in microfinanciering?
Wereldwijd maken zo’n 250 miljoen mensen gebruik van microfinanciering. Er gaat naar schatting 110
miljard euro om in deze sector. Hiervan wordt 26 miljard euro gefinancierd door buitenlandse
investeerders. De dertien leden van het Nederlands Platform voor Microfinanciering zijn goed voor bijna
10 procent daarvan. Deelnemers zijn commerciële banken als Rabobank, ASN Bank, ING en Triodos,
sociale investeerders als Oikocredit en ICCO Terrafina Microfinance, en ngo’s als Oxfam Novib en Cordaid.

“Ik denk het laatste. IDLC greep de kans van het groene potje
van de centrale bank met beide handen aan. Andere banken niet.
Daarmee bouwde IDLC een portfolio in deze markt op. Dat
maakt het verschil.”
Bij FMO zijn ze niet zo’n fan van gesubsidieerde leningen, zegt
Van den Bosch. “Om bedrijven een eerste zetje te geven kan het
nuttig zijn, maar het schept verwachtingen. Ondernemers zullen
een volgende keer ook pas actie ondernemen als er goedkoop geld
beschikbaar is. Een verwachtingspatroon waar je niet meer vanaf
komt.” De uitweg is volgens hem kredietaanbieders als IDLC
sterker te maken en daarmee een impuls te geven aan de hele
groene sector. “Met slimme incentives kun je veel bereiken, ook
zonder subsidie.” Zijn Bengaalse collega weet daar wel een voorbeeld van. Financiële instellingen moeten volgens hem meer
investeren in het vergroten van hun eigen kennis van groene
technologie. “Ondernemers investeren niet in duurzaamheid
vanwege de kosten, maar ze kennen de nieuwe technologieën
ook niet. Als banken wel die kennis in huis hebben kunnen ze
ondernemers beter overtuigen van de mogelijke business case.”
Kennis van milieutechnologie is de sleutel, zegt Rahman, zelf
opgeleid als ingenieur. “Misschien nog wel belangrijker dan
subsidies.”
Hij krijgt daarin bijval van Pier Vellinga, de Nederlandse
klimaatprofessor. Sinds hij toetrad tot de Supervisory Board
van FMO pleit Vellinga daar ook voor meer technische kennis
binnen de bank. “Dat heb je nodig om je klanten te begrijpen.
Wie zoals FMO aan duurzaamheid wil werken, kan niet volstaan
met financiële kennis. Dan moet je de technologie kennen, weet
hebben van clean tech, van de laatste innovaties.”
Vellinga sprak onlangs op een bijeenkomst die het Nederlands
platform voor Microfinanciering (NpM) organiseerde samen met
Hivos en FMO. Centraal stond de vraag: gaan groen en sociaal
samen bij het investeren in midden- en kleinbedrijf in lage- en
middeninkomenslanden? Ja, zeiden de NpM-leden, en ondersteunden dat met recent onderzoek. Conclusie: de belangstelling
voor groene investeringen neemt sterk toe aan de kant van dono-

ren en financiële instellingen, maar de vraag bij bedrijven in
ontwikkelingslanden blijft daarbij achter. Naast educatie –
bewustwordingscampagnes zoals in Bangladesh – zou ook de
overheid daar verandering in kunnen brengen, denken de NpMleden. Vooral in de vorm van publiek-private samenwerking,
waarbij publiek geld wordt ingezet om de ondernemers voor de
groene zaak te winnen.
In een verklaring aan minister Ploumen voor Buitenlandse
Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking committeren de dertien
leden van het platform zich aan vergroening van hun financieringsactiviteiten in ontwikkelingslanden. En daarbij vragen
ze steun aan de overheid. “We zien het belang van groene investeringen die bijdragen aan armoedevermindering”, zegt Josien
Sluijs, directeur van NpM. “Opschaling is nodig van de vele kleine
projecten die er nu zijn. We hebben grote partijen achter ons die
bereid zijn te investeren. Maar het kan niet zonder dat ook overheden meedoen.” Het gaat niet om geld alleen, benadrukt ze. “In
de financiële wereld is het belangrijk dat alle wet- en regelgeving
op orde is. Dat je goed zaken kunt doen met bepaalde landen. En
dat er een stimulerende omgeving is voor ondernemers.”
FMO-topman Nanno Kleiterp sluit zich aan bij de oproep, maar
ziet ook dilemma’s. Hij is net terug uit Midden-Amerika, waar
hij in vergelijking met een paar jaar terug een duidelijk toegenomen belangstelling zag voor groene investeringen. “Toen
hadden de banken het vooral over financiële risico’s, nu zien ze
kansen.” Jammer alleen dat, toen Kleiterp een CEO van een bank
in Costa Rica vroeg hoe hij de groene investeringen inpaste in de
algemene strategie van zijn bedrijf, het eerlijke antwoord luidde:
“Mij gaat het erom de langetermijnpositie van onze bank veilig
te stellen. Jullie ontwikkelingsorganisaties zijn daarvoor belangrijk. Dus als jullie allemaal zeggen dat ik groen en inclusief moet
zijn, dan ben ik dat.” Nogal teleurstellend, erkent Kleiterp, maar
ook een aanwijzing dat de sector niet te hard van stapel moet
lopen. “We moeten balans aanbrengen. Niet suggereren dat we
alleen nog maar groen willen investeren. Het midden- en kleinbedrijf in ontwikkelingslanden snakt naar kapitaal. Daar moeten
wij aan bijdragen. Ook al gaat het om investeringen die niet per
se groen zijn. Natuurlijk moeten ze geen negatieve impact op
het milieu hebben. De markt voor groene projecten die ook goed
zijn voor werkgelegenheid moet de kans krijgen om te groeien.”

Verdrijft duurzame energie
de armoede op Sumba?
Het straatarme Indonesische eiland Sumba krijgt 100 procent hernieuwbare
energie, met dank aan ontwikkelingsorganisatie Hivos.

e lopen door de velden, klimmen een
dijkje op, en staan vrij onverwacht aan
de oever van een meanderend riviertje. Op het
water ligt een draaiend waterrad, dat is bevestigd op drijvers zodat het kan meebewegen met
de stand van het water. Het waterrad pompt
water in een groot bassin en vandaar wordt
het getransporteerd naar de akkers verderop.
We staan midden in Waingapu, een stad in het
oosten van het straatarme Indonesische eiland
Sumba. Het heeft al maanden niet geregend,
maar daar is niets van te merken. Volwassenen
en kinderen werken onder de brandende
zon tussen de tomaten, paksoi, kolen, uien,
chilipeper en wortels. Veertig huishoudens
leven van de opbrengst, en verkopen wat ze
niet consumeren. Vroeger werd een dieselgenerator gebruikt voor de irrigatie. Maar
diesel en onderhoud kosten geld en vaak was er
gedoe over de juiste verdeling van het water.
Dit project illustreert de visie en aanpak van de
Nederlandse ontwikkelingsorganisatie Hivos,
zegt Adi Lagur van Hivos. “We laten zien dat
energie een middel is, geen doel. Het gaat erom
dat je weet wat de gebruikers met die energie
willen en kunnen doen. De teelt van groenten
bevorderen bijvoorbeeld, zodat de mensen
een perspectief krijgen op het verbeteren van
hun leven.”
In Kamanggih, hemelsbreed 40 kilometer
verderop, loopt een groep jongens mee bij de
bezichtiging van de miniwaterkrachtcentrale,
die stroom levert aan 350 huishoudens. Umbu
Hinggu Panjanji, hoofd van de boerencoöperatie, geeft uitleg. “Vroeger behielpen we ons
in het donker met kerosinelampen. Nu we
elektriciteit hebben, kunnen we vaardigheden
ontwikkelen waaraan we vroeger vanwege de
duisternis niet toekwamen.”
De vrouwen van het dorp besteden meer tijd
Beide projecten zijn onderdeel van Sumba Iconic
Island, een initiatief van Hivos om de energievoorziening op het eiland rond 2020 voor
100 procent hernieuwbaar te maken. “Het is
een ambitieus initiatief, dat wereldwijd als
voorbeeld kan dienen en ons in staat stelt het
verhaal over ontwikkelingssamenwerking
en duurzame energie te vertellen”, zegt Eco
Matser van Hivos.
In 2009 had een kwart van de 680 duizend
eilanders toegang tot energie (elektriciteit en
moderne warmtebronnen om te koken). Twee
derde van de bevolking was afhankelijk van
kerosine voor lampen en hout om op te koken.
Alle brandstof werd geïmporteerd. Inmiddels
heeft 40 procent van de bevolking stroom.
Met steun van Hivos werden drie waterkrachtcentrales gebouwd en krijgen steeds meer
dorpen biogasinstallaties. Staatsenergiebedrijf
PLN heeft duizenden zonnepanelen en minigrids verkocht mét onderhoudsgarantie.
En binnenkort staat er een grote windmolen
op het eiland.
Sumba is te groot voor Hivos alleen. Noorwegen, de Asian Development Bank, de
Indonesische overheid, het staatsenergiebedrijf PLN en andere bedrijven investeren
samen 5 miljoen euro in de energieopwekking.
Anderhalf uur voordat het vliegtuig vertrekt,
eten we in een restaurant dat is opgetrokken
uit bamboe. Het wordt gerund door Balinezen.
Fotograaf Feri is enthousiast: “Dat die hier

als geen ander waar toeristische kansen liggen.” De ontwikkeling van Sumba is in volle

SUPPORTING YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
Over the past few years, the Bangladesh Bank has engaged
the country’s financial sector in the promotion of inclusive,
environmentally sustainable financing. This has helped the
Bangladesh economy to maintain over 6% annual average GDP
growth from 2011-2014.
However, the population is relatively young, so in order for this
expanding labor force to find employment, opportunities need
to be created by both public and private sector, and as such IDLC
has identified SMEs as an area of focus. The company is also
committed to sustainable business practices and strong financial
performance. Over the past 30 years IDLC has become the largest
multi-product multi-segment Non-Banking Financial Institution
in Bangladesh and one of the blue-chip companies on local
stock markets. The business which started in 1986 with five staff
members has today evolved into a multi-product US$750 million
business. IDLC is today represented in 31 branches & booths in
15 cities with over 1,200 staff.
LEADING GREEN BANKING
IDLC has created a Green Banking Unit (GBU) as one of its major
priority sectors and now recognized as one of the market leaders
in promoting the Green Banking Concept in Bangladesh.
This has led to some key achievements including energy project
financing for five power projects with the capacity of 377 MW
to improve energy access. Another Solar Nano Grid project will
produce 300 KW of electricity for 20,000 people living in off-grid
areas. Apart from IDLC’s drive on sustainable energy, five LEED

certified green industry buildings equipped with state-of-the-art
technology are receiving green finance. IDLC is the first in the
financial industry in Bangladesh to publish a sustainability report
since 2011 revealing its commitment and ambition to become a
carbon neutral company.
FINANCING CHANGE
FMO has been additional by providing IDLC with a longer tenor
loan than available in the commercial market. IDLC was thus
enabled to also offer longer tenors to its SME clients. FMO’s
assistance in developing an Environment and Social Management
System has really set the bar high and has given IDLC a right
focus for the coming years.
IDLC understands that with global development and global
warming, green banking plays a significant role in protecting our
existence, and wants to impart this knowledge and best practice
to its clients.

Over 100 Financial Institutions Mobilized to Increase
Global Investment in Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is key as climate change action as well as for sustainable development. It is the measure
expected to bring half of all emissions reductions needed to reach a peak in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020
and stay within a 2°C global average temperature increase scenario. It brings multiple benefits such as improved
resource efficiency and industrial productivity, strengthened energy security as well as better health and
wellbeing conditions. Yet, a lack of visibility and clear focus on energy efficiency, together with insufficient
investments, have left most of this potential untapped.
Bridging the energy efficiency finance gap will require financial institutions to channel more capital flows for
energy efficiency as well as policy-makers to address barriers and stimulate energy efficiency investment through
supportive policy frameworks. Energy efficiency is relevant for all countries, either developing, emerging or
developed.
The mobilization of financial institutions emerged in the context of two high-level initiatives promoting
investment in energy efficiency:

The UN Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative, a partnership between governments, the private
sector and civil society, which has among its objectives to double the global rate of improvement in
energy efficiency by 2030.

And the G20 Energy Efficiency Finance Task Group which has led several consultations in 2015 with
finance stakeholders and prepared the ‘Voluntary Energy Efficiency Investment Principles for G20
Participating Countries’, which were welcomed by G20 Energy Ministers in their historic Communique,
and attached to the G20 Leaders’ Communique in November.
EBRD’s initiative and co-operation with the UN SE4All Energy Efficiency Accelerator led to the endorsement by
banks of the Statement by Financial Institutions on Energy Efficiency Finance. This effort was coordinated with
UNEP FI, associating additional banks, and mobilizing investors on the G20 Energy Efficiency Investor Statement,
in the context of the G20 work on energy efficiency finance.
Between these two initiatives, over 130 financial institutions commit to further embed energy efficiency in their
strategies and operations.
