Inter-American Bank in Washington DC

We had a great experience at the Inter-American Bank in Washington DC. This amazing group of people travel all over the world providing loans for major construction, infrastructure and businesses. As part of the conditions of receiving the loan, the receiving company must agree to meeting performance standards for Environmental and Social Sustainability. This amazing group of people at Inter-American Bank audits their clients to these performance standards. This Inter-American Bank group completed their OHSAS 18001 Internal Auditor training for Occupational Health and Safety. They are ensuring that any company that gets a loan from them meets requirements Labor and Working conditions, Resource efficiency and Pollution Prevention, Community Health and Security, Biodiversity conservation and sustainable Living Natural Resources, Indigenous Peoples and Cultural Heritage. WOW !!!!!!!
We had no idea this whole industry existed. They are spreading the word about Environmental and Social Sustainability and making it stick !!!! 
 I am proud to have been a part of it........ Jerry P.
