PS 1. Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts
As part of its due diligence mandated by IFC's Sustainability Policy, the IFC Team already has screened this Project to assess its consistency with IFC's Performance Standards. IFC may be required during Project implementation to provide additional sustainability information in case (i) a new Performance Standard is triggered (because a new risk is foreseen), or (ii) the Project progresses from a low/medium risk to a high-risk initiative. The appropriate language will be drafted by the Project Leader in coordination with the designated IFC Sustainability Champion.
IFC's advice will be provided in a manner consistent with the principles of the relevant Performance Standards. The IFC Team will assist the client, as the final decision maker, to acquire a good understanding of IFC's Performance Standards.
