NEW POLICIES ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY

IFU’s board of directors has approved a new Human Rights Policy and a Gender Equality Policy. The policy on human rights explains IFU’s work with the UN guiding Principles on business and Human Rights, while the policy on gender equality describes IFU’s commitment to gender equality in our investments.
