What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
Environmental & social risk Category FI-A, based on the exposure I&M Bank has to client transactions that are considered project finance. The projects financed in this segment are mainly related to manufacturing, construction and real estate property development. The activities in these sectors can potentially result in negative environmental and social impacts. I&M Bank has in place an environmental & social management system to manage these impacts. In addition, the FMO transaction includes an Environmental and Social Action Plan with the objective to enhance the bank’s environmental & social risk management capacity and its client engagement on environmental & social impacts.
