Implementation of the Equator Principles

Every Project Manager is responsible for the ESDD of each financing. The ESDD is part of the credit process in which the credit committee is responsible for the credit approval. For Cat. A or B as appropriate categorized projects a dedicated risk assessment made by environmental & social experts of KfW Group or other external experts is compulsory.
