Absolutely.
Gender equality is, as I've mentioned, one of our key impact goals at FinDev Canada. Sixty per cent of investments in our overall portfolio are 2X Challenge-aligned. I can explain what that means later on, but essentially it's aligned with gender equality.
As we look at our transactions when we're making our investment decisions, we go through enhanced due diligence and make sure that we're looking particularly at vulnerable groups and how women are going to be benefiting from the investments that we make. We have clear parameters in different areas that we look at, such as contribution to women's employment, women in leadership, and products and services for women.
On the vulnerability side, according to the environmental and social standards that we implement, follow and expect our clients to follow, which are based on international best practices, we look at gender-based violence and the impact on vulnerable populations, including women and girls, as part of our due diligence process.
