Criteria

How we screen every deal

Environmental

Screened against IFC-style Performance Standards; Category A projects require an independent ESIA and an Environmental & Social Action Plan as a condition precedent.

Social

Labour & working conditions, community health & safety, land acquisition and resettlement plans, and grievance mechanisms monitored through the life of the loan.

Governance

KYC/AML and sanctions screening on all sponsors and beneficial owners, anti-bribery covenants and board-level reporting for facilities above USD 25M.

Reporting

Annual impact reporting per facility, aligned to the Harmonised Indicators for Private Sector Operations (HIPSO) style metrics.
