The company is located in a well-developed industrial complex in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The project is expected to have the following development impacts: - generate new employment, primarily of women; - increase income tax revenues paid to the government of Indonesia; and - increase revenue and profits of small and medium sized enterprises which sell the company’s products.

IFC’s expected development contribution may include: - providing long-term local currency financing; - assistance in helping the company comply with IFC’s Environmental & Social Performance standards.

This is a Category B project under IFC’s Policy on Social and Environmental Sustainability because a limited number of specific environmental and social impacts may result which can be avoided or mitigated by adhering to generally recognized performance standards, guidelines, design criteria, local regulations and industry certification schemes. Environmental, social, health and safety issues which may be associated with this type of project, and which were reviewed during appraisal, included: management systems for environmental, health and safety (EHS), and life and fire safety issues; compliance with local and WB/IFC requirements for air emissions, wastewater discharges, indoor air quality, noise and waste management; energy, water and other material use and efficiency; labor issues and community engagement. This is an expansion of an existing IFC project which was previously assessed in 2006 as Category B. This existing investment has submitted an AMR in a timely fashion and is categorized as ESRR B-2 Average.
