THE WAY WE WORK
These statements reflect the way we work and inspire us to continually improve. They emerged from the most extensive staff consultations in IFC’s history. They provide direction and context for how we live our values every day.
  • We help our clients succeed in a changing world.
  • Good business is sustainable, and sustainability is good business.
  • One IFC, one team, one goal.
  • Diversity creates value.
  • Creating opportunity requires partnership.
  • Global knowledge, local know-how.
  • Innovation is worth the risk.
  • We learn from experience.
  • Work smart and have fun.
  • No frontier is too far or too difficult.


    • "We build our brand from the inside out. The IFC Way helps us by defining our brand value proposition. It reflects who we are, first to ourselves and our colleagues, then to the clients and partners with whom we work to increase the private sector’s role in development."

    Lars H. Thunell
    IFC Executive Vice President and CEO
