Risk capital for forestry is very scarce.
What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
Miro is a category B+ client. FMO’s preliminary 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: - PS 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts; - PS 2: Labour and working conditions; - PS 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention - PS 4: Community Health, Safety and Security; - PS 5 Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement; - PS 6 Biodiversity Conservation; - PS 8 Cultural Heritage. As there are no Indigenous Peoples affected by the project, therefore PS 7 Indigenous People is not applicable. FMO will periodically review the project’s compliance with the Performance Standards.
