Covestro, a leading materials supplier, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, have entered into an agreement to share knowledge and promote IFC’s EDGE, a green building software, standard and certification system for emerging markets. Covestro is the first materials supplier to be asked to serve as a champion of EDGE.
Covestro and IFC share a common aspiration: moving the construction industry on to a lower carbon path. Through the agreement, the organizations will work together to accelerate the adoption of resource-efficient building options in developing countries, particularly in the area of low-carbon building materials.
