EXIM experts screen, categorize, review, and monitor the environmental and social impacts of projects receiving EXIM export credit support (including project financing and project-related corporate loans) to ensure compliance with applicable environmental and social policies and standards, including the Equator Principles (link is external). These responsibilities are handled primarily by EXIM’s Engineering & Environment Division, along with the Office of Board-Authorized Finance, Office of the General Counsel, the Environmental and Social Review Committee, and other divisions and committees. EXIM’s Board of Directors (for board-approved transactions) and senior management review environmental and social information prior to approving EXIM support. Appropriate environmental and social covenants are included in the financing documents.
