Project Description

The Upstream Project is a collaboration with Burapha Agro-Forestry Co., Ltd (Burapha or the Company) on a third-party Environmental and Social (E&S) Upstream Level Study (the “E&S Study”) to identify and assess E&S risks and impacts associated with the company operations when assessed against the IFC Performance Standards (IFC PSs), World Bank Group Environmental Health and Safety (WBG EHS) and other Good International Industry Practice (GIIP), suggesting methods to bridge identified gaps. The Project fits with IFC’s Country Strategy in Lao PDR to enhance the forestry sector’s long-term sustainability. It also fits with IFC’s Forestry and Wood Products (FWP) sector strategy.
