In 2010, OPIC committed to reduce the direct emissions associated with OPIC supported projects in the active
portfolio by 30 percent over a ten year period starting from the June 30, 2008 baseline and 50 percent over a
15-year period from the June 30, 2008 baseline. OPIC has also strengthened accounting and reporting practices
on all projects with annual emissions exceeding 25,000 metric tonnes of CO2eq per year.

acquisition. OPIC will also ensure vendors are familiar with these requirements during initial contract kickoff
meetings. OPIC reviews and updates Procurement guides and handbooks as needed. OPIC has developed a-
green purchasing plan that is reviewed and updated annually. Our goal is to ensure agency procurement practices
take into account sustainable principles and reinforces our sustainability efforts.

NOTE: OPIC is a small agency that leases space in a commercial building. Other than office supplies,
multi-function devices, and computer equipment, OPIC does very few acquisitions for products or services suitable
for requiring energy efficient goals or that meet sustainable requirements. Those acquisitions that do support
energy efficient goals incorporate appropriate language and clauses into solicitations, contracts and contract
modifications for the procurement of those products and services.

to constrain the addition of large carbon emitting projects to the portfolio; (3) support energy efficiency, renewable
& clean technology; and (4) enhance accounting and transparency.

In order to achieve OPIC’s required 30 percent reduction and SO percent reduction commitment OPIC establishes
an annual transactional cap for all new projects within a given year with significant, direct GHG emissions.
Allocation of the annual transactional cap is at OPIC’s discretion.

OPIC’s Office of Investment Policy’s Environmental and Social Policy Statement provides Applicants (e.g.
investors, lenders or project sponsors) notice of the general environmental and social requirements that OPIC
applies, as appropriate, in evaluating prospective projects seeking OPIC support and for monitoring on-going
OPIC-supported projects. It adopts as a benchmark the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards
on Social and Environmental Sustainability and Industry Sector Guidelines. These standards and guidelines
provide for a tailored approach to risk management which allows Applicants and OPIC to specify appropriate and
relevant requirements that are proportional to potential project risks and impacts and adapted to the particular
business of the Applicant.

OPIC posts on its website brief summaries of environmentally or socially sensitive projects at least 60 days before
OPIC makes a decision to support them. Public comment on the projects is invited, and considered by OPIC, in
advance of the decisions.

OPIC continues to expand financing for renewable energy projects, clean technology projects, and other projects
making more sustainable use of natural resources such as efficient irrigation, cold storage, transportation, water
treatment, sustainable forestry, natural resource preservation, and forest rehabilitation. OPIC is moving forward
in its support of these projects both through the issuance of loans or loan guarantees as well as through a $300
million commitment to financing new private equity investment funds that could potentially invest more than $1
billion in renewable resource projects in emerging markets.

OPIC continues to be a leader among bilateral international investment institutions in developing and applying
environmental and social policies that advance long-term sustainable economic development. In FY2010, OPIC
revised and strengthened its environmental and social policies. The new OPIC Environmental and Social Policy
Statement reinforces OPIC’s commitment to address global challenges including climate change and is consistent
with our development mandate to promote sustainable development.

At the Climate Change Conference in Cancun, OPIC announced that it will provide at least $300 million in
financing for new private equity funds that could ultimately invest more than $1 billion in renewable resources
projects in emerging markets.

The OPIC ESP specifically addresses the following:

a. How OPIC ensures the acquisition of EPEAT registered, ENERGY STAR qualified, and FEMP
designated electronic office products when procuring electronics in eligible product categories.

b. How OPIC establishes and implements policy and guidance to ensure use of power management,
duplex printing, and other energy efficient or environmentally preferred options and features on all eligible agency
electronic products.

c. How OPIC complies with environmentally sound practices for disposition of all agency excess or
surplus electronic products.

d. How OPIC increases the quantity of electronic assets disposed through sound disposition practices.

How OPIC is using programs such as disposal through GSA Xcess, recycling through Unicor, donation through
GSA’s Computer for Learning (CFL) or other non-profit organizations, and/or recycling through a private recycler
certified under the Responsible Recyclers (R2) guidance or equivalent certification.

e. How OPIC will require IT planning/Life Cycle Manager to replace and or waive equipment that
does not meet “Green” compliance requirements.

f. How OPIC ensures implementation of best management practices for energy efficient management
of servers and Federal data centers, including how the agency will meet data center reduction goals included in
the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative.

Data center consolidation is another key element of the new Federal IT strategy and important in meeting the goals
of EO 13423 and EO 13514 to reduce costs, energy consumption, space usage and environmental impacts while
increasing the utilization and efficiency of IT assets.

OPIC has one business location and only one data center. In early FY11, OPIC completed efforts identified for
reducing the overall power consumption and environmental impact by implementing server virtualization and
hardware consolidation on blade server technology. Through this process, OPIC virtualized nearly 80 percent of
all existing physical servers to a virtual server infrastructure. OPIC is also committed to taking advantage of
services offered by vendors in the form of cloud computing which also reduces the OPIC data center environmental
footprint. In FY2009, OPIC migrated its major Oracle business systems to a cloud based service within Oracle’s
On Demand data center. In late FY2011, OPIC plans to migrate its current premise based Exchange e-mail system
toacloud environment. This will further reduce the physical server footprint and associated data center resources
required within OPIC’s data center.

IV. Plan Implementation

To ensure a reliable and transparent process for reporting project-related GHG, OPIC completed a comprehensive
GHG inventory of the OPIC portfolio and established an accounting methodology to track OPIC’s progress toward
achieving its commitment. The baseline inventory and methodology used by OPIC’s external GHG accountant

is provided to Congress and posted on OPIC’s website ( http://www.opic.gov/environment ). OPIC updates the

inventory on an annual basis based on the projects in the portfolio at the end of each fiscal year. This information
has been reported to Congress in the Annual Policy Report to Congress and posted on OPIC’s website.

OPIC has an annual emissions cap that has been in place since June 2007. This cap has served to significantly
constrain addition of new high-carbon emitting projects to OPIC’s portfolio. The first year the cap was in effect,
from June 2007 to June 2008, OPIC utilized only 18 percent of the annual cap. During Fiscal Year 2009, OPIC
used approximately 55 percent of the annual cap.

OPIC significantly increased its market outreach to the renewable energy and clean energy business community
to identify and support new project opportunities. OPIC staff have participated in the U.S. — Central America
Renewable Energy Forum, the Clean Energy Summit, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Brazil
Renewable Energy Finance & Investment Summit, the Renewable Energy Finance Forum, the Renewable Energy
World Conference & Expo, the Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum, and other renewable energy related events.
In addition, OPIC is part of the interagency Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Export Initiative, whose
goal is to promote and increase renewable energy and energy efficiency exports as part of a cohesive program
during the next five years. Moreover, OPIC hosted the 2011 Southeast Asia investment conference which focused
on renewable energy, clean technology and entrepreneurship. Internally, OPIC created an interdepartmental
Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development task force to coordinate agency efforts on marketing, project
review, and policy analysis.

project and commensurate with the level of developmental and environmental risks and impacts.

OPIC factors in return on investment to help prioritize and guide energy conservation projects (energy smart
repairs). OPIC’s developmental impact assessment and environmental review of proposed projects are important
factors in OPIC’s decision as to whether or not to finance a project, and in determining the scope of the
developmental and environmental conditions of OPIC financing. Pursuant to its Environmental and Social policy
statement, OPIC puts into practice its commitment to social and environmental sustainability. OPIC strives to
take a consistent approach to projects to minimize adverse impacts on workers, communities, and the environment.
Where avoidance is not possible, OPIC strives to reduce, mitigate, or compensate for the impacts, as appropriate.

Budget proposals are submitted for facilities related projects and are assessed as part of the overall organizational
strategic planning and budgeting process. Proposals are evaluated in terms of costs, organizational benefits,
regulatory requirements, etc.

722 Jackson Place, NW
Washington, DC 20503

Dear Director Lew and Chair Sutley:

In accordance with Executive Order 13514 on Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy and
Economic Performance, attached is the Overseas Private Investment Corporation’s 2011
Sustainability Plan. This plan reflects OPIC’s commitment to sustainability and to measure our
performance and report on our progress.

OPIC continues to explore ways to reduce its own GHG emissions and in fulfilling its mission,
expand support for projects in the renewable energy sector. OPIC has prioritized supporting
projects and policies that help emerging and developing countries meet their energy needs in an
environmentally responsible manner.

Asa small agency, we will continue to explore options and ways that we can support the goals of
Executive Order 13514 and to partner with our clients to enhance the economic development
impact of our projects and promote sustainable development practices for a healthier
environment. We look forward to working with you as we move forward on this important

initiative.

Lena Paulsen
Acting Senior Sustainability Officer


OPIC works closely with the landlord on a continual basis to examine energy based programs for the building and
provides the landlord with information on Federal initiatives such as Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy
and Economic Performance.

Goal 1 (optional image)

Goal 2: Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Reduction & Develop and Maintain Agency Comprehensive Greenhouse
Gas Inventory (Basic Performance Discussion, A - H)

Goal Description: As part of its Greenhouse Gas/Clean Energy Initiative, OPIC has committed to: (a) reduce
the direct GHG emissions associated with projects in OPIC’s active portfolio as of June 30, 2008 (i) by 30 percent
over a ten-year period; and (ii) by 50 percent over a 15-year period; and (b) shift investment support focus to
renewable and energy efficient projects .

OPIC will promote sustainable travel in an effort to reduce carbon emissions associated with commuting and travel
by agency staff and will explore video conferencing alternatives where feasible.

Agency Lead for Goal : Office on Investment Policy (projects); senior management (travel and training)

Implementation Methods: OPIC has implemented a policy to constrain the addition of projects that have the
potential to emit high levels of GHG emissions to the portfolio to assist OPIC in meeting its commitments of 30
percent GHG emissions reduction in 10 years and 50 percent reduction in 15 years.

In addition, OPIC completed a comprehensive GHG inventory of the OPIC portfolio for the baseline year 2007
as well as years 2008 and 2009 and established an accounting methodology to track OPIC’s progress toward
achieving the 30 percent and 50 percent reduction commitment.

Positions: The agency currently uses an external contractor to perform an independent analysis to quantify the
GHG emissions directly attributable to projects to which OPIC is financially committed.

Planning table: OPIC is required to achieve a 30 percent reduction in GHG emissions from the baseline emissions
by September 30, 2018 and to reduce GHG emissions by 50 percent from the baseline emissions by September
30, 2023.

In order to achieve the 30 and 50 percent reduction commitment, OPIC establishes an annual transactional cap
for all new projects within a given year with significant, direct greenhouse gas emissions. For the purposes of
allocation of the annual cap, new projects are defined as those projects that receive an OPIC commitment within
a given year. In cases where an Applicant requests OPIC support for a portfolio of projects, OPIC will allocate
cap individually, as necessary, to each project within the applicant’s portfolio. Allocation of the annual transactional
cap is at OPIC’s discretion.

V. Evaluating Return on Investment

OPIC strives for positive development outcomes in the projects it finances and/or insures in emerging and developing
markets. Positive development helps promote the long-term profitability of projects, enables OPIC to fulfill its
development mandate and strengthens the public’s trust in OPIC. An important component of positive development
outcomes are the social and environmental sustainability of projects. As a practical matter, finite resources require
the agency to make informed choices about how best to use its resources, consider project impacts and implications
as we consider investment opportunities and impacts as part of the decision making process and provide incentives
for projects that support social, economic and environmental goals. OPIC, in deciding which projects to support,
is obligated to ensure that those projects confer on the host-country economies and communities as many positive
developmental benefits as possible.

OPIC screens applications early in the process to identify the risk of adverse environmental and social impacts of
a proposed project. When a project is proposed for financing, OPIC conducts a developmental and environmental

GOAL 6: Sustainable Acquisitions (Goal-Specific Items)

OPIC is committed to the principles and practices of sustainable acquisitions and will continue to explore
opportunities with vendors and contractors regarding ways to leverage acquisitions for sustainable and
environmentally preferable materials, products and services that meet our requirements. As feasible, OPIC will
incorporate appropriate language and clauses into solicitations, contracts and contract modifications for the
procurement of products and services that are energy efficient, water efficient, bio-based, environmentally preferable,
non-ozone depleting, contain recycled content, or are non-toxic or less toxic alternatives. Internally, appropriate
guidance will be provided to personnel on applicable procurement requirements and clauses relevant to sustainable
acquisition. OPIC will also ensure vendors are familiar with these requirements during initial contract kickoff
meetings. OPIC reviews and updates Procurement guides and handbooks as needed. OPIC has developed a-
green purchasing plan that is reviewed and updated annually. Our goal is to ensure agency procurement practices
take into account sustainable principles and reinforces our sustainability efforts.

NOTE: OPIC is a small agency that leases space in a commercial building. Other than office supplies,
multi-function devices, and computer equipment, OPIC does very few acquisitions for products or services suitable
for requiring energy efficient goals or that meet sustainable requirements. Those acquisitions that do support
energy efficient goals incorporate appropriate language and clauses into solicitations, contracts and contract
modifications for the procurement of those products and services.

Goal 6 (optional image)
GOAL 7: Electronic Stewardship and Data Centers (Basic Performance Discussion, A - H)

OPIC is committed to the principles and practices of electronics stewardship. To facilitate compliance with
Executive Orders 13423 and 13415, OPIC has developed an Electronic Stewardship Plan (ESP) that is reviewed
and updated annually. The purpose of OPIC’s ESP is to implement sound environmental practices for the three
life-cycle phases of electronic products: acquisition, operations and maintenance, and end-of-life management.
The ESP will enhance OPIC sustainable practices in order to comply with the EOs and reduce energy consumption,
reduce toxics disposal related to electronics and save money through reduced energy consumption and increased
electronics life expectancy.

II. Sustainability and the Agency Mission

In 2007, OPIC announced a major effort to reduce the climate impact of U.S. overseas investments supported by
OPIC and to increase support for projects in the renewable energy sector. OPIC committed to the following
initiatives and is actively implementing these initiatives.

Establishing a transparent methodology for GHG accounting.

Reducing the direct emissions associated with OPIC supported projects in the active portfolio by 30 percent
over a ten year period from the 2008 baseline and by 50 percent over a fifteen year period from the 2008 baseline.

Shifting emphasis to renewable and energy-efficient projects.
Establishing an annual emissions cap for all new GHG emissions in OPIC supported projects.

Application of market-based incentives to encourage private sector U.S. investment in renewable energy and
energy efficiency improvement projects.

Increasing the amount of financing available to support renewable energy, energy efficiency and clean technology
projects.

In order to manage the reduction of the direct emissions associated with OPIC supported projects, OPIC has
established an annual emissions cap to manage new carbon additions to OPIC’s portfolio. OPIC is also increasing
its market outreach to the renewable energy and clean energy business community to identify and support new
project opportunities.

In FY2010, OPIC revised and strengthened its environmental and social policies. The new OPIC Environmental
and Social Policy Statement reinforces OPIC’s commitment to address global challenges including climate change
and is consistent with our development mandate to promote sustainable development.

NOTE: OPIC leases space in a commercial building and utilities are all utilities are all inclusive in the lease. As

Planning table: OPIC is required to achieve a 30 percent reduction in GHG emissions from the baseline emissions
by September 30, 2018 and to reduce GHG emissions by 50 percent from the baseline emissions by September
30, 2023.

In order to achieve the 30 and 50 percent reduction commitment, OPIC establishes an annual transactional cap
for all new projects within a given year with significant, direct greenhouse gas emissions. For the purposes of
allocation of the annual cap, new projects are defined as those projects that receive an OPIC commitment within
a given year. In cases where an Applicant requests OPIC support for a portfolio of projects, OPIC will allocate
cap individually, as necessary, to each project within the applicant’s portfolio. Allocation of the annual transactional
cap is at OPIC’s discretion.

Agency status: GHG emissions from projects in OPIC’s portfolio were reduced by approximately 35 percent
from the baseline year to the year 2009 indicating that OPIC is on track to achieve its 30 percent reduction in 10
years and 50 percent in 15 years.

OPIC will periodically review and identify potential cost-effective strategies and options to reduce GHG emissions
associated with commuting and travel by agency staff.

Goal Description : To track and report GHG emissions associated with projects within OPIC’s active portfolio
that have direct emissions exceeding 25,000 tonnes CO2eq per year and to combine these emissions with the
agency’s other Scope 3 emissions.

Agency Lead for Goal: Office on Investment Policy

Implementation Methods: OPIC tracks and reports on an individual project basis the annual greenhouse gas
emissions associated with projects within OPIC’s active portfolio with direct emissions that exceed 25,000 tonnes
CO2eq per year. To the extent possible, OPIC calculates greenhouse gas emissions using methodologies approved
by the Climate Registry http://www.theclimateregistry.org and other internationally accepted GHG accounting
protocols including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

OPIC reports on an annual basis the projected greenhouse gas emissions associated with each newly committed
project with direct emissions that exceed 25,000 tonnes of CO2eq per year. OPIC also annually reports on
investments in renewable energy and environmentally beneficial projects and services, including investments used
to improve energy efficiency. Annual greenhouse gas emission estimates are subject to third party verification.

Positions: The agency currently uses an external contractor to perform an independent analysis to quantify the
GHG emissions directly attributable to projects to which OPIC is financially committed. The agency will work
to combine emission estimates from its project portfolio with emission estimates from other Scope 3 sources.

Planning Table: The agency requires that the third party contractor submit the GHG inventory in March of each
year. Once this report is submitted, the agency will incorporate OPIC’s other Scope 3 emissions calculations in
order to report total Scope 3 emissions.

High Performance Sustainable Design/ Green Buildings

OPIC has no quantitative target because OPIC leases space in a commercial building, and has limited input into
its design and utilities are all inclusive in the lease. However, the building is an Energy-Star rated building.
OPIC works closely with the landlord on a continual basis to examine energy based programs for the building and
provides the landlord with information on Federal initiatives such as Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy
and Economic Performance. In the event OPIC acquires additional space, it will attempt to do so in a manner
that any demolition, design and construction of the additional space be done in a sustainable manner to optimize
energy efficiency, minimize consumption of energy, water, and materials and provide a safe, healthy environment.

OPIC’s preventive maintenance services for its existing facility, equipment and systems ensure equipment is
properly managed and maintained for optimal performance. We ensure equipment and assets are disposed of
appropriately through GSA.

Regional and Local Planning

Not applicable. OPIC has no quantitative target. OPIC is located within three blocks of all forms of mass transit,
including the Washington DC Metro rail and public bus systems as well as commuter bus programs for both
Maryland and Virginia. OPIC continues to promote carpooling and encourages mass transit use through our mass
transit subsidy program. We also have a telework program with 78 percent of OPIC employees approved for
participation.

In fulfilling its mission, OPIC works with the private sector to encourage U.S. investment in renewable energy
and energy efficiency projects through the application of market-based incentives. OPIC considers emission
reduction alternatives for all OPIC-supported projects, including opportunities to enhance energy and operational
efficiency, and the application of new technologies for the capture, storage, and recovery of GHG. Through its

OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVSTEMENT CORPORATION (OPIC) 2011
SUSTAINABILITY PLAN

Section 1: Agency Policy and Strategy

I. Agency Policy Statement

OPIC was established as an agency of the U.S. government in 1971. It helps U.S. businesses
invest overseas, fosters economic development in emerging and developing countries,
complements the private sector in managing risks associated with foreign direct investment, and
supports U.S. foreign policy.

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is committed to working with the
Administration and the global community to achieve the goals of Executive Order 13514.

OPIC recognizes the importance of this initiative and continues to explore ways to reduce its
own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and in fulfilling its mission, expand support for projects in
the renewable energy sector. OPIC has prioritized supporting projects and policies that help
emerging and developing countries meet their energy needs in an environmentally responsible
manner. Specifically, OPIC has implemented a GHG Initiative that moves the agency in this
direction by directly addressing emissions and by partnering with the private sector to support
projects and clean technology that will provide energy and spur growth while protecting the
environment in developing countries.

Through its appraisal and monitoring process, OPIC ensures that all projects that it supports are
environmentally and socially sustainable, respect the rights of workers and communities, and are
designed and operated in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and good
international practice. OPIC is committed to supporting low or no-carbon economic
development and to making sure that negative impacts are avoided, reduced, restored, or
otherwise mitigated.


OPIC’s Office of Investment Policy’s Environmental and Social Policy Statement provides Applicants (e.g.
investors, lenders or project sponsors) notice of the general environmental and social requirements that OPIC
applies, as appropriate, in evaluating prospective projects seeking OPIC support and for monitoring on-going
OPIC-supported projects. It adopts as a benchmark the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards
on Social and Environmental Sustainability and Industry Sector Guidelines. These standards and guidelines
provide for a tailored approach to risk management which allows Applicants and OPIC to specify appropriate and
relevant requirements that are proportional to potential project risks and impacts and adapted to the particular
business of the Applicant.

OPIC posts on its website brief summaries of environmentally or socially sensitive projects at least 60 days before
OPIC makes a decision to support them. Public comment on the projects is invited, and considered by OPIC, in
advance of the decisions.

OPIC continues to expand financing for renewable energy projects, clean technology projects, and other projects
making more sustainable use of natural resources such as efficient irrigation, cold storage, transportation, water
treatment, sustainable forestry, natural resource preservation, and forest rehabilitation. OPIC is moving forward
in its support of these projects both through the issuance of loans or loan guarantees as well as through a $300
million commitment to financing new private equity investment funds that could potentially invest more than $1
billion in renewable resource projects in emerging markets.

OPIC continues to be a leader among bilateral international investment institutions in developing and applying
environmental and social policies that advance long-term sustainable economic development. In FY2010, OPIC
revised and strengthened its environmental and social policies. The new OPIC Environmental and Social Policy
Statement reinforces OPIC’s commitment to address global challenges including climate change and is consistent
with our development mandate to promote sustainable development.

At the Climate Change Conference in Cancun, OPIC announced that it will provide at least $300 million in
financing for new private equity funds that could ultimately invest more than $1 billion in renewable resources
projects in emerging markets.

2. Is your agency tracking and monitoring all of its contract awards for inclusion of requirements for mandatory
federally-designated green products in 95% of relevant acquisitions?

(If it is finding non-compliance issues, then it should identify corrective actions the agency is taking this year to
demonstrate compliance with the 95% sustainable acquisition goal by the end of FY2012.)

Our goal is to ensure agency procurement practices take into account sustainable principles and reinforces our
sustainability efforts. As feasible, OPIC will incorporate appropriate language and clauses into solicitations,
contracts and contract modifications for the procurement of products and services that are energy efficient, water
efficient, bio-based, environmentally preferable, non-ozone depleting, contain recycled content, or are non-toxic
or less toxic alternatives. Procurement staff are reviewing agency acquisitions to ensure the inclusion of sustainable

requirements.

3. Has your agency completed energy evaluations on at least 75% of its facilities?

(If agency has not met this goal, then it should describe plans for catching up on this requirement in the next 6
months.)

OPIC is a small agency that leases space in a commercial building with utilities all inclusive. If funding becomes
available we will assess the feasibility of an energy evaluation.

4. Will your agency meet the deadline of October 1, 2012 (EPACT’05 Sec 103) for metering of energy use?
(Agency should provide current status of buildings metered and plans for meeting the deadline).

OPIC is a small agency that leases space is a commercial building with utilities all inclusive. If funding becomes
available we will assess the feasibility of metering.

5. If your agency reports in the FRPP, will it be able to report by December 2011 that at least 7% of its inventory
meets the High Performance Sustainable Guiding Principles?

(If no, agency needs to provide schedule and plan for actions to be taken in the next six months.)
