The International Finance Corporation (IFC) progressed from EDGE Assess to EDGE Move certification thanks to the continuous efforts to improve gender balance within all levels of responsibility. Progression has led to an increase in the percentage of women throughout, all the way to the Board of Governors, setting a clear visible example of women in leadership and decision-making roles. In addition, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is not only an EDGE Move certified organization, but also an accredited licensing partner of EDGE. As part of its investment and advisory services, the organization prepares its portfolio companies for EDGE Certification and promotes further advancement of gender equity in the workplace across multiple industries and geographies."
