    Environmental aspects

    The Fund Manager will be obliged to ensure full compliance with the Bank's environmental and social standards for all its investments. Given the characteristics of the potential investments (incl. medium to large greenfield energy projects) contemplated by the Fund Manager, many of them will require a full environmental & social impact assessment. The Fund Manager will be required to develop an environmental & social policy, and implement the appropriate management systems, whose main objectives will be to assess and manage environmental and social risks in line with good international practices and comply with the national law, the environmental & social standards of the Bank and principles of the relevant EU Directives.

    Procurement

    The Bank will require the Fund Manager to ensure that implementation of the investment projects will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
