IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EQUATOR PRINCIPLES
Continue to monitor and assess the environmental and social impacts and performances in the project duration
2019 is the twelfth year since IB adopted the EPs. IB has continued to monitor and assess the environmental and social impacts and performances in the project duration, and organized its departments at all levels to carry out comprehensive self-inspection and off-site inspection on the implementation of the EPs with the existing EPs projects as the starting point and regulative emphasis. The special investigation covered all of the existing projects, mainly focusing on the due diligence process of environmental and social risks, the assessment quality and efficiency of the Independent Environmental and Social Consultant and the management of project duration, so as to effectively improve our management and implementation effects of the EPs projects.
Make the whole-process management tools of the EPs projects more sound and applicable in a detailed manner
The Bank has started a special management regulation for the Independent Environmental and Social Consultant environmental and social impact assessment agencies of the EPs projects. The regulation regulated the access standards, selection procedures, supervision and management of the Independent Environmental and Social Consultan as well as the quality control of the EPs project compliance assessment reports according to our due diligence of environmental and social risks of the EPs projects, the performance of the Independent Environmental and Social Consultan and the branches’ needs. It also improved the service management system accordingly, and regulated the management quality and efficiency of the Independent Environmental and Social Consultan environmental and social impact assessment agencies to further promote our implementation of the EPs projects.
