Manufacturing
Examples of gender-smart climate finance indicators for the sustainable manufacturing sector include:
Direct criteria
-
Women-owned or women-founded manufacturing companies accessing climate finance to adopt climate mitigation/adaptation practices
-
Share of women in senior management or share of women on the Board in manufacturing companies or in funds* that have adopted climate mitigation and adaptation practices
* For funds this also covers the share of women in the Investment Committee
-
Share of women in the workforce accessing green jobs in the manufacturing sector (e.g. as e-rickshaw drivers)
AND
Reskilling/upskilling programs to develop ‘green skills’ to access jobs in the manufacturing sector (e.g. introductory training as electrical vehicle assembly line workers)
-
A product or service that specifically targets or benefits women that is climate-aligned, such as eco-friendly maternal health products produced by a company adopting circular economy principles.
Indirect criteria
-
On-lending facilities: percent of the DFI loan proceeds supporting manufacturing companies that meet BOTH the climate-finance (e.g. clean technologies) and the 2X direct criteria
Funds: percent of portfolio companies that are in the manufacturing sector and that meet BOTH the climate-finance and the 2X direct criteria
** For investments through financial intermediaries, it is assumed that the investment already qualifies under the climate-finance criteria used by the investor
