Strategy definition
Priority areas for intervention are identified in line with the Strategic Plan, with the aim of addressing the key needs of the productive system and local communities.
Impact
We finance initiatives that generate economic, social and environmental value for the country.
Our operating model is based on a risk-return-impact approach, combining traditional risk and return analysis with a structured assessment of the strategic relevance and sustainability of each transaction.
This enables us to direct resources towards initiatives that generate economic, social and environmental value for the country, in line with the practices adopted by leading international financial institutions.
Assessment tools
CDP uses two tools: the Strategic Guidelines, which identify priority areas for intervention and guide financing and investment decisions towards the country’s key needs, and the Methodological Guidelines, which describe the approach, methodologies and tools used to assess and monitor the impact of transactions throughout their entire life cycle.
