Environmental Assessment of Financial Intermediation Loans and Equity Investments

Financial intermediation loans and equity investments must follow the same environmental assessment and review process as other projects. However, the focus of the environmental assessment is on due diligence of the financial intermediary and its environmental management system (EMS).

Here the term "environmental management system" is defined as a system for planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving the processes and actions that an organization undertakes to meet its environmental goals.

The major components of an EMS are

• environment policy
• environmental management capability
• environmental assessment and review procedures for subprojects (credit lines)
• environmental monitoring and reporting
