Implementation of the Equator Principles

  • The mandate of the Equator Principles Reviewers (e.g., responsibilities and staffing)
    The Equator Principles Reviewers are responsible for reviewing transaction details, evaluating the category of risk and requirements, and ensuring conformance with the Equator Principles.
  • The respective roles of the Equator Principles Reviewers, business lines, and senior management in the transaction review process
    The business lines identify if a proposed transaction may be subject to Equator Principles by cross-referencing policies and procedures and consulting with subject matter experts and teams focused on the Equator Principles. When a transaction is subject to the Equator Principles, enhanced due diligence is conducted by individuals with subject matter expertise and a rage of stakeholder perspectives to evaluate conformance with the Equator Principles. This enhanced due diligence is conducted before the transaction can proceed toward final approval by senior management.
  • The incorporation of the Equator Principles in credit and risk management policies and procedures
    Requirements associated with projects subject to the Equator Principles are incorporated into our internal credit risk policies and practices, requiring enhanced due diligence for project finance transactions that meet the relevant parameters outlined in the Equator Principles, based on project type/categorization. By following the Equator Principles, we seek to ensure financing for projects is conducted in a manner that is socially responsible and reflective of sound environmental management practices.
