Project Description

Microvast is a growing Chinese research and technology driven company offering advanced power solutions for applications including electric vehicles, electric bikes, and power tools, as well as patented battery components such as membrane, anode, electrolyte and cathode. Microvast currently has three subsidiaries (Microvast Power Systems, Microvast New Materials and OChem Chemicals) which together form a vertically integrated advanced power and technology company. IFC proposes to co-invest on the same terms as another international investor up to $30 million in the form of equity and debt to support the Company’s capital expenditures related to expansion, marketing and sales, and the continued R&D of new battery technologies. IFC finance will be used in support of the Company’s operations solely in China.

Overview of IFC's Scope of Review

The scope of review of Microvast's (“the Company’s”) compliance with IFC’s Performance Standards and local environmental, social and occupational health and safety standards comprised: (1) assessment of effectiveness of the Company’s environmental and social management system and (2) its ability to ensure and monitor compliance with regulatory requirements and IFC’s Performance Standards in its operations. The review relied on documents and reports made available by Microvast, and interviews conducted by IFC staff during their site visits to the Company's offices, manufacturing and system integration facilities in Huzhou, China; and a bus manufacturing company that Microvast may potentially acquire. During the visit IFC staff conducted interviews with key management personnel, supervisors, EH&S staff and Human Resources, as well as various support staff.
