* For funds this also covers the share of women in the Investment Committee
-
Share of women in the workforce accessing green jobs in the transport sector (e.g. women drivers of electric cabs)
AND
Programmes to access jobs and enhance employment benefits in sustainable transport (e.g. recruitment targets for women drivers and station controllers for metros, flexible shift options, and access to creche facilities)
-
Increase in female use of low-carbon transport
Decrease in incidents of sexual harassment on and off trains
Indirect criteria
-
On-lending facilities: percent of the DFI loan proceeds going to sustainable transport companies that that meet the 2X direct criteria
Funds: percent of portfolio companies that are in the sustainable energy sector and that meet the 2X direct criteria
