Prizma, LLC

Our clients retain us to make their projects more bankable, credible and sustainable. We do this by applying our insights, relationships and experience gained working in and with financial and multilateral institutions, blue chip corporations, consulting firms and academia solving real challenges. We design, evaluate, troubleshoot and implement environmental and social impact assessments, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability strategy and reporting in line with the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Equator Principles, EBRD`s Performance Requirements and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Often, we get contracted directly by project developers and embedded within existing contractual relationships or in-house teams, provide professinal peer reviews or advise financial institutions directly. We also provide training in the application and interpretation of global guidelines and benchmarks. Prizma makes projects and organizations more bankable, credible and sustainable. Our clients benefit from our international experience providing the support needed to secure project finance and political risk insurance from Multilateral Financial Institutions (such as IFC, EBRD), Export Credit Agencies (such as Export Development Canada) and 'Equator Banks'. We develop and trouble-shoot bankable environmental and social impact assessments in line with the IFC Performance Standards & Equator Principles (including SIA, CDP, RAP, PCDP, SEP, BDO, ESMP, ESAP) that meet the requirements of institutional investors (sustainable and wholesale finance) and facilitate M&A. We assist with corporate responsibility (CSR) & sustainability strategy development and produce sustainability reports using the GRI framework. We conduct assurance readiness assessments (gap analysis) and are licensed Assurance Providers (AA1000).
