<p>The UK Government monitors the International Finance Corporation (IFC)'s application
of the Social and Environmental Performance Standards which apply to all IFC projects.
Performance Standard 6 covers Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management
of Living Natural Resources. This includes guidance on animal welfare in livestock
projects. For each proposed project, IFC publicly discloses summary project information,
environmental and social implications, and expected development impact. Where projects
present particular environmental and social risks, IFC sets out a time-limited Action
Plan that the project must deliver. The UK Government uses its seat on the IFC Board
to ensure that these procedures are followed.</p>
