Survey question

Does the DFI disclose the minimum E&S documentation for the risk categorisation?

Does the DFI disclose what E&S documentation was produced for the activity?

Does the DFI disclose all identified E&S documents that were produced for the activity?

Definition

The following are the minimum requirements according to E&S risk category:

  • Category A (or equivalent): Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP).
  • Category B (or equivalent): ESIA unless it is explicitly stated that an ESIA was not produced. In which case a summary of the key E&S risks, impacts and mitigation is sufficient.
  • Category C (or equivalent): justification for risk categorisation including description of associated environment and social (E&S) risks.

If it is a financial intermediary (FI) investment:

  • Category FI1 (or equivalent): Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS).
  • Category FI2 (or equivalent): summary of ESMS unless it is explicitly stated that an ESMS was not required.
  • Category FI3 (or equivalent): justification for risk categorisation including description of E&S risks.

The DFI should list all E&S documents that were produced for an activity, in line with institutional and national guidelines.

All produced E&S documents should be disclosed.
