While all Performance Standards are applicable to this investment, IFCs environmental and social due diligence indicates that the investment will have impacts which must be managed in a manner consistent with the following Performance Standards. If IFCs investment proceeds, IFC will periodically review the the project’s ongoing compliance with the Performance Standards

PS 1 – Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts
PS 2 - Labor and working conditions
PS 3 - Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention
PS 4 – Community Health, Safety and Security
If IFC’s investment proceeds, IFC will periodically review the the project’s ongoing compliance with the Performance Standards

The proposed investment is expected to have limited environmental and social impacts. Further, the impacts can be avoided or mitigated by adhering to recognized performance standards, procedures, guidelines and design criteria as described in the following sections. This is therefore a Category B project in accordance with IFC’s Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy.

Key environmental and social issues applicable to this Project include: The sponsor has provided evidence that i) land acquisition followed willing seller/ willing buyer procedures; (ii) compliance with national legislative requirements by having obtained an Environmental license to proceed with development following an Environmental and Social Impact assessment; iii) it will comply with labor and working conditions, including occupational health and safety during the construction phase; and the project is therefore developed in accordance with the Performance Standards. Further details can be found in the Environmental and Social Review Summary.

IFC's appraisal considered the environmental and social management planning process and documentation for the project and gaps, if any, between these and IFCs requirements. Where necessary, corrective measures, intended to close these gaps within a reasonable period of time, are summarized in the paragraphs that follow and (if applicable) in an agreed Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP). Through the implementation of these measures, the project is expected to be designed and operated in accordance with Performance Standards objectives.

An ESIA was conducted by Parkgest SA in order to identify and manage the E&S risks of development on the site. In addition, the company recognizes the low Health and Safety standards in most of the African countries it operates in and as a result developed a comprehensive Health and Safety standards which it requires its contractors to comply with.

Environmental and Social Assessment and Management SystemA formal ESIA was required under the Angolan General Environmental Act 2010. ESIA and the issuance of Environmental Licenses are required by the Act for developments of this type and scale in Angola. The ESIA was then prepared by local consultants in Luanda- Holisticos - assessing likely impacts, setting out construction and operation mitigation measures to be implemented, and describing project implementation, monitoring and auditing arrangements. The ESIA was conducted for the overall site which was currently owned by Parkgest SA. The portion of the site to be used to develop the Centre falls within the boundaries of the ESIA conducted for the overall site currently owned by Parkgest SA. The ESIA developed by the project was approved and an Environmental License with certain conditions was issued. The Environmental License issued to Parkgest SA is valid till November 22, 2014. One of the statements made in the License was the fact that no stakeholder engagement was conducted. It was not clear if the Angolan Environmental Law requires public consultation of this scale or not. Right across the main express road from the development is a huge high density low-income residential area. This community was not consulted as part of the ESIA therefore a stakeholder engagement plan to address community concerns will need to be developed as part of the project. This is discussed further in the Action Plan.



In terms of the construction regulations in Angola, the developer is required to submit precise technical standards to be adopted by the development to the Viana Municipality in Luanda for approval. The application for this approval requires: building drawings, including structural design; mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) drawings; fire prevention schematics; and traffic schematics (into/out of/within the property). The approved ESIA and the license conditions forms part of this approval process. The National Water Act requires developments to ensure discharges from the sewage treatment plant having to meet certain standards.



The ESIA contains measures to be implemented so that the Project meets local regulatory requirements, while the closure of gaps between current development and design plans and IFC requirements are defined in the ESAP. The conditions of approval issued by Angola authorities plus the ESIA and ESAP measures will, upon implementation of the EMP and ESAP, comply with the IFC Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability.

Management and Monitoring Program

RMB Westport does not have a clearly de
fined environmental and social management system (ESMS) as it typical relies on appointed contractors to manage the E&S risk of its developments. The sponsor however has elements of such a system which it provides to contractors to put in place for their various businesses. This includes Environmental monitoring for pre-construction, construction and operation phases of the development. RMB will develop its own integrated ESMS for the development, aligned with IFC’s Performance Standards.

The EMP contained in the ESIA contains some environmental measures to be implemented during the Centre’s construction and operation, but many measures are described in other sections of the ESIA. To clearly set out the measures required to be implemented during each phase of development, RMB Westport will prepare a Construction EMP and an operation EMP that describes the management measures, as well as implementation, monitoring and reporting responsibilities.

The ESAP details how gaps in performance and management necessary to achieve compliance with IFC Performance Standards will be filled. It includes environmental commitments (particularly during construction) and details of mitigation and monitoring plans, communication and documentation. Relevant mitigation measures will be translated into environmental, social and OHS requirements and made part of the construction contracts. Organizational CapacityRMB Westport management is the overall manager of the Centre’s design and construction. At present RMB Westport has one full-time staff member based in Luanda, who is primarily responsible for the Shopping Centre’s commercial planning and leasing. Other activities are currently undertaken by specialist consultants in project management, architecture, quantity surveying and relevant engineering disciplines. During construction, RMB Westport will appoint the main contractors to manage the development. A comprehensive list of capable contractors has been put together by the consultant team, through a pre-qualification exercise. Tender documents which will include IFC Environmental and Social requirements will form part of the contractor selection process.



An experienced Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Officer will also be appointed by the contractor at the commencement of construction to oversee the Construction Contractor’s EHS management. During project operation, RMB Westport will assign responsibility for EHS performance, monitoring and stakeholder engagement to an experienced professional who has appropriate training and experience, as well the authority to implement EHS measures and achieve ongoing compliance with IFC requirements.

RMB Westport and the appointed contractor will also coordinate with relevant government departments and other stakeholders on Project EHS matters. The construction contractors’ EHS Officer will assume primary responsibility for EHS matters relating to the contracted works (i.e. responsible for the implementati
on of relevant EMP measures during construction), as well as communication with and the training of construction crews in all aspects of the EMP. The EHS Environmental training will help to ensure that EMP requirements are clearly understood and adhered to by its personnel and sub-contractors under its control throughout the construction period. During the shopping centre’s operation, this training will continue to be conducted by the company as needed.



The completed mall will be managed by Broll, who are also mandated leasing agents. Bovell Ross, the current project manager, will act as the tenant coordinator. Broll will manage Lessee activities during the Centre’s operation by: ensuring that all outfitting plans are submitted to RMB Westport and approved prior to the commencement of any works; checking copies of all required licenses, insurances, etc for the fitting out works in line with the Tenant Criteria Design Manual and Angola laws and regulations; and checking the completed fitting out works to ensure that they comply with Tenant Criteria Design Manual conditions.



Grievance Mechanism for affected communities

A grievance mechanism is to be established to receive and facilitate resolution of affected communities’ concerns and grievances about the project’s environmental and social performance. This is further discussed in section PS4: Stakeholder Engagement.

RMB Westport currently has one full-time staff member (the Head of Projects) on ground in Angola, whilst using the services of consultants to design the Centre. Most of the project’s work force will be through the appointment of the contractor. The contractor will then be responsible for appointing other support services such as cleaning and security or to sub-contract out these services to specialist companies.



A Construction Contractor with experience in the construction of large retail projects will be appointed via a competitive bidding process. The construction workforce managed by the Construction Contractor will peak at around 350-400 workers over the 24 month construction period. All workers will be Angolans apart from some specialists, and all will reside off-site in Luanda and commute to the site daily.



Human Resources Policies and Procedures

RMB Westport will prepare a formal Human Resources (HR) policy and procedures that will apply to all employees and contractor staff during the Centre’s construction and operation. The HR policy and procedures will be based on the sponsor’s existing such policies and be in accordance with Angolan labor regulations and IFC PS2, addressing contracts and terms of employment, working hours and overtime, training, leave, retirement, employee welfare, disciplinary action, health and safety, and wages and benefits, the principle of equal opportunity, fair treatment and non-discrimination, a grievance mechanism, the right of association, occupational health and safety and the application of labor practices to third party workers. The HR policy and procedures will be disclosed to staff (both employee and non-employee workers), and training shall be provided to staff and third parties so that they are aware of the scope of these documents. Construction laborers will be paid equal to or above the minimum wage in accordance with Angolan law.



Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)

RMB Westport OHS policy and procedures will be developed based on (i) shareholders’ existing such policies, (ii) plans for other malls, (iii) compliance with Angolan law, and iv) compliance with PS2. Environmental, health and safety (EHS) management during construction will be the responsibility of the Construction Contractor, overseen by the EHS Officer. An EHS statement of requirements will be issued with the tender documents that tenderers will be required to comply with. Tenderers will be required to include complying EHS plans and records in their bids. EHS requirements will be built into the construction contract, defining the minimum requirements and management measures to be implemented. The Construction Contractor and any sub-contractors will be required to provide appropriate training and personal protective equipment (PPE) to their workers and ensure that this gear is properly used.



RMB Westport’s EHS Officer will have oversight of all OHS activities during construction, and the Construction Contractor shall repo
rt to this person, who in turn will directly report to the sponsor’s management. RMB Westport will review the Contractor’s human resources and OHS documentation and submit the review/gap analysis to IFC to confirm alignment with PS2. Where amendments are required, an action plan to address these will be agreed upon by RMB Westport and IFC, with the commencement of work only permitted following written approval of their health and safety plan from RMB Westport.



Construction hazards include working at height, hot works (e.g. welding), use of heavy machinery and excavation down to 10 m depth. While contractor OHS requirements are limited within the ESIA, the implementation and monitoring recommendations do go some way to meeting the requirements of this Performance Standard. Key OHS components will include: a full-time OHS representative; regular health and safety committee meetings; monthly auditing of OHS performance by the Contractor; regular training, including induction and on-the-job training (e.g., toolbox talks with attendance recorded, competence assessments for all workers relative to the task to which they are assigned); requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) use, first aid and emergency response procedures; requirements for various types of equipment that may be used on-site, such as scaffolding, heavy machinery, lifting equipment etc.; the need for documented risk assessments prior to tasks being undertaken; and physical requirements for specific types of works such as earthworks, traffic diversion etc.



All EHS responsibilities will transfer to RMB Westport upon completion of construction. Any companies contracted to undertake facility management services will be required to comply with PS2. In addition, RMB Westport will include a condition in contracts with tenants renting retail and office space to comply with national labor legislation.

Construction Phase Impacts

Potential pollution issues during the Shopping Centre’s construction will be those typically associated with building construction, including: site erosion and off-site sedimentation; poor stormwater quality from suspended sediment, oil, grease and other contaminants; the generation of a large volume of spoil requiring off-site disposal; site contamination from spills of fuel and other hazardous materials; noise; dust; and traffic. These impacts have the potential to affect local residents and businesses, but can be adequately managed through the effective implementation of standard mitigation measures, mostly covered by the measures proposed in the ESIA. The sponsor’s EHS Officer, assisted by the Construction Manager, will regularly inspect the site and the Construction Contractor’s activities daily to check compliance against regulations and IFC PSs.



A 24 month construction phase is planned, comprising foundation and car park works, utility connections, construction and outfitting of the centre’s building, installation of road entrances/connections, and site landscaping. Construction works will involve large scale earthmoving and will necessitate the delivery of a large volume of construction materials to the site. RMB Westport will develop a detailed EHS statement of requirements that tenderers will be required to comply with. The tender requirements will include incorporating Municipal, Angolan and IFC requirements.



Storage areas and working space during construction will need to be temporarily fenced. The Construction Contractor is also likely to have its own large depot in Luanda where it will store materials and prefabricate concrete reinforcing. A range of construction activities (e.g. welding, lighting) will primarily use electricity supplied from the Angola National grid, with diesel-powered back-up generator provided to cover outage periods. Emissions from the generators will be minimized by ensuring that the engines are properly tuned and maintained.



Water requirements during construction have not been estimated, but a large volume of water will be required for cement mixing, dust suppression, washing equipment, drinking water, toilet flushing, etc. The Construction Contractor is likely to use mobile fuel storage tanks on site primarily for excavator fueling. The temporary storage of fuel will be subject to site controls, with a spill control plan prepared and implemented as required, incorporating the immediate clean-up of any spills and monitoring of site conditions.



General construction waste will be managed in accordance with the EHS plan that will be developed by the Construction Contractor, setting out waste reuse, recycling and disposal. Non-recyclable solid waste will be disposed of at a regulated Municipality facility. Hazardous waste will be separated, with liquid hazardous waste (oils, fuel, chemicals) appropriately labeled and stored in metal/plastic drums in concrete bunded areas. T
ransportation and disposal of hazardous waste will be undertaken by licensed companies with trained employees equipped with appropriate vehicles and equipment.



A large volume of spoil will be generated from the excavation of the foundations and the end use of this material has yet to be determined. Alternatively, the spoil may be stockpiled at a designated premise until a future use is determined.



The erosion and sedimentation hazard created during construction will need to be properly managed. Dust is likely to be generated during construction; therefore this will be suppressed by regularly watering access ways and disturbed areas, and ensuring that mud is removed from vehicles before they leave the site.



Construction noise has the potential to disturb nearby local residences and businesses. This potential impact will be managed by generally restricting site working hours to between 8 am and 5 pm six days a week and ensuring that machinery and equipment are operated and maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s requirements. The Environmental license issued for the development prohibits night time construction work. Given the close proximity of the main road that carries traffic ranging from passenger vehicles to heavy vehicles, construction noise impacts are not expected to be significant during the day, neither should construction traffic create significant additional traffic disturbance. A traffic management plan will be developed and implemented to ensure that vehicle movements onto and off the site create minimal traffic disruption and safety hazard to local pedestrians, with measures developed in compliance with local regulations.







Operational Phase Impacts



Energy and Energy Efficiency

RMB Westport design for the Viana Shopping Centre indicates a formal commitment to energy/building efficiency measures. Proposed energy saving measures confirmed by IFC Green Building specialist include: Reduced window to wall ratio; Reflective paint/tiles for Roof and external walls– Solar reflectivity of 70%; Insulation of roof surface and external walls; Air Conditioning with Air cooled screw chiller; CO2 sensor/demand-controlled ventilation for fresh air intake; and High-efficient light bulbs for sales area, corridor and common areas and external spaces.



Based on the current design and specification information provided by the RMB Westport and using the IFC EDGE Retail Tool, it is estimated that Viana Shopping mall will have 26% lower Energy consumption than a conventional design mall. This meets IFC’s definition for Green Buildings. The Sponsor is required to provide final confirmation letter stating that the features proposed will be installed or suitable alternatives will be provided.



Prior to placing orders, RMB Westport will confirm that the emissions from the generators will comply with the WBG EHS Guidelines and that the secondary containment for the fuel storage tanks, whether they are above-ground or underground tank
s, is appropriate. Each shop and office will have dual electricity meters to record mains and generator electricity use.



Water and Wastewater



Water

Daily water consumption during the Centre’s operation for domestic use and other purposes is estimated to total 85 m3/day (20,086.5 m3/year). The primary source of water (Domestic & Fire) is the “municipal” supply from the connection point at the south western corner of the Viana mall. A 110mm diameter pipeline will connect to the external 125mm diameter pipeline, and will supply water to an on-site storage tank. The storage tank has a 2 x days storage capacity for domestic water. Adjacent to the storage tank is a Water Treatment facility or Water Treatment Package Plant, installed to further treat the received water to ensure that potable water quality standards are indeed met.



50% of the potable water storage tank (hereto referred as Water Tank A) will be used to store water prior to further treatment, and the remaining 50% (hereto referred as Water Tank B) will be used as a balancing tank, housing treated water which is basically ready for use/consumption. As sometimes the case in Angola, there may be problems encountered with the delivery of piped municipal water. In such cases, “Water Tank A” will be used to store water delivered to site with any other means, e.g. Truck delivered water. This will then accommodate the day to day water management processes of receiving water and storing it in “Water Tank A”, treating the water and then discharging the treated water into “Water Tank B” for use/consumption. Fire outlet pipes are fitted to the bottom end of the water storage tanks, allowing for full usage of Fire water when the need arises.



Adopting the above philosophy basically ensures that there is constantly sufficient treated water available for a one day demand for the Centre. The mall’s Facility Management team, would be required to monitor the availability of piped municipal water to ensure that water truck deliveries are arranged for, on time in the event of there being water shortages from the primary source – municipality. Stormwater from Centre will be discharged into broader precinct stormwater system, which will in turn be discharged into the municipality watercourse.



Wastewater

The wastewater yielded on site will be conveyed to the external sewer pipeline at the east of the Viana shopping centre site. This external sewer pipeline gravitates north easterly towards the traffic circle, where a sewer pump station then pumps the wastewater to the overall precinct’s Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW). The sewer infrastructure on the Centre includes a septic tank, complete with a sewer pump station/lift station. The septic tank has a 3 x day storage capacity, and is incorporated to serve the following functions:



• Provide an on-site storage facility of wastewater, should there be maintenance requirement on either the external sewer pump station and/or the external WWTW.

• Provide an on-site storage facility of wastewater, should there be a power failure in Viana, which may affect the external sewer pump station and/or the external WWTW.

• Accommodate wastewater pre-treatment to some degree, as per Parkgest’s requests to have pre-treatment incorporated on all sites. The main objectives achieved with this pre-treatment \are mainly a 60% to possibly 80% reduction in solids that are discharged into the external sewer infrastructure, but also limited primary anaerobic treatment. This thus requires the mall’s Facility Management team to periodically manage the extraction of solids in the Septic tank. The frequency of this extraction of solids will be determined by, amongst others, the type/composition of wastewater yielded on site.



Based on the fact that the Centre is located on a naturally lower laying portion of land in relation to the rest of the precinct, the on-site sewer pump station serves the following functions:



• Allows for a functional sewer system that discharges wastewater into the external sewer infrastructure.

• Enables the Centre sewer system to discharge wastewater into the external sewer infrastructure, at a high enough level, to alleviate the potential risk of the overall precinct’s wastewater back-flowing into the shopping centre sewer system, given the general site level of the Centre in relation to the rest of the precinct.



The wastewater yielded on site would thus flow via gravity from the building, into the septic tank at the north eastern corner of the site, then gravitate into the on-site pump station, and then further be discharged into the external sewer infrastructure.



No provision has been made for re-use of treated effluent.



Stormwater

The stormwater infrastructure on the shopping centre consists mainly of a piped system, but also has a short section of open channel along the western site boundary. The stormwater generated site will be conveyed to the external stormwater pipeline (East of the Centre’s site). The access roads and parking area are designed to (i) minimize the ingress of stormwater from external roads and (ii) allow for the surface water to flow away from the building, thus preventing ponding of water around the building.



Provision has been made for stormwater escape routes in the parking area on site, via the design of the road and parking area levels, although not achieved thought the entire extent of the site due to levels of the surrounding sites.



No provision has been made for an on-site stormwater detention pond, as a result of lack of usable space.





Waste and Hazardous Materials

During the Centre’s operation, the primary solid waste streams will be office and domestic solid waste (e.g. paper, plastic, glass bottles, food waste). Solid waste will be collected and segregated on site, most likely by third party operators who will be granted the right by RMB Westport to do this and sell salvaged materials. During the construction stage, th
e appointed contractor will be responsible for the Centre’s waste management practices. The main contractor is expected to implement a waste management plan (WMP), retain waste records and issue quarterly reports to the building owner. In addition to this, RMP Westport is to ensure that EHS officer implements the waste management plan approved for the ESIA.



Hazardous materials required during mall operation (such as cleaning agents, water and sewage treatment chemicals, oils, lubricants) will be stored in a dedicated, locked areas with bounded epoxy coated floors to contain spillages. Diesel for the back-up generators will be stored in the fuel tanks of each generator, with bulk storage being considered. Fuel tanks will need to be stored in bonded areas.



Other Issues

Restaurant and food court kitchens will use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking. Gas will be delivered to the Centre by truck and stored in fenced LPG tanks on site. The sponsor will go through a selection process to select the LPG supplier who will in turn have a service level agreement (SLA) in place with the end-user tenant. Fire safety measures for the LPG use have been considered in Life and Fire Safety (LFS) design of the shopping centre. The LFS plans and designs were developed by the consulting engineering company for the proposed development. The LFS rationale and design has been reviewed by IFC’s LFS specialist and this was considered satisfactory with few recommendations made. LFS considerations are further discussed in the PS4 section

The Viana Shopping Centre is located within a newly developed industrial zone in Viana, a suburb of the greater Luanda, 24km east of the Luanda Central Business District. The suburb is densely populated with a population of around 2 million and household count of +300,000. The property is situated just off the Via Expresso. Though Viana is classified as middle- to high income market, right across the express road from the mall is low income informal development. In addition, informal traders are currently located less than a kilometer away from the property. No stakeholder engagement was conducted as part of the ESIA undertaken for the larger precinct. Therefore the potential risks and impacts to the affected communities from the project activities have not been assessed.



In terms of community safety, the contractor to be appointed by RMB Westport is required to adopt considerable health and safety measures to prevent community exposure to construction hazards.



Life and Fire Safety

The primary risk to community health and safety relates to Life and Fire Safety (LFS) during the operation of the Shopping Centre. CKR consulting engineers, the consultants for the engineering design of the Centre, have developed a Life and Fire Safety Plan which IFC considers satisfactory. The centre’s design for LFS is in accordance with South African Standards SABS 10400, a code of practice for application of the Building Regulations. Reference has also been taken from BS 9999. Life and fire safety equipment (including fire detectors and alarms fed into the EMS, sprinklers in all areas including basement levels; fire doors on all staircases; public address system; portable fire extinguishers; two electrical firefighting pumps with diesel back-up; fire hoses; and bulk raw water storage tanks) will be installed throughout the buildings.



Once the Project is commissioned, the Centre’s Maintenance Manager will be responsible for ensuring that LFS operational requirements are followed by staff and tenants, while a qualified independent LFS auditor will undertake regular audits. RMB Westport will develop a LFS training program for its staff and security workers in relation to LFS.



The Centre has been designed to accommodate the needs of disabled people, including the incorporation of elevators and special staircases to aid mobility, dedicated parking spaces close to entrances, clear routes to exits in emergency situations, floor spaces and hallways free of equipment/barriers, low counters and service windows, and easy access to the Centre. Prior to construction RMB Westport will confirm that the Centre has been designed in accordance with the applicable code for seismic conditions and that this is aligned with internationally accepted practice.



Site Security and Safety

RMB Westport is yet to commission a security company, to profile security issues at the Centre and recommend appropriate measures. The sponsor intends to go through a selection process to
employ a security firm. Security staff will need to be screened through appropriate security checks and adequately trained. RMB Westport will be required to ensure that security arrangements meet the requirements of PS4.



RMB Westport has developed an emergency response plan and evacuation procedure that it will implement during operation. A full outpatient medical facility is proposed to be one of the services in the mall.



Traffic

Vehicle flow schematics are being developed by the specialists to plan vehicle flow off adjoining roads and within the Shopping Centre. Traffic flow is being designed to have minimal disruption on traffic within and around the premises, however there is no Traffic Management Plan (TMP) included in the EMP for the ingress and egress of vehicles into/out of the Centre off public roads. A TMP will therefore need to be developed as part of the overall ESMS. Traffic congestion and public safety issues on the via Espresso will be planned by the City Council to work in conjunction with road upgrading from the sponsor’s architects, to be implemented during the Centre’s operation. Public Transport access will need to be included as part of the management plan.





Client''s Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder engagement was not carried out as part of the ESIA process. No discussions were held with nearby residents, landowners and businesses and therefore there is no record of concerns by the affected community. RMB Westport is required to develop a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) that identifies key stakeholders and ongoing information and communications plans relating to the project. The SEP will include a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) to address any concerns that people living in the vicinity of the project may have. The main objective of the GRM will be to provide a mechanism to mediate concerns. The SEP will be reviewed periodically during implementation and will be updated as necessary to ensure effective ongoing engagement with local people. Public announcements through local newspapers, radio and other appropriate channels will be used to inform the local community of construction and operational issues and will be part of the SEP.



RMB Westport will make the ESIA, ESAP and SEP available to stakeholders before the commencement of construction to ensure that local communities are made aware of the Project, its key impacts, proposed mitigation measures and the implementation timeline and methods.
