ESHR reviews are undertaken in strict alignment with international frameworks for managing such ESHR risks and impacts, namely the OECD Council Recommendation on Common Approaches for Officially Supported Export Credits and Environmental and Social Due Diligence (OECD Common Approaches) and Equator Principles, which was updated in July 2020 to strengthen requirements related to climate change and human rights. The ESHR team undertakes these reviews to be satisfied that relevant projects should comply with applicable local and relevant international laws, and align with international ESHR standards, before support is provided. Where UKEF provides support to such projects it undertakes on-going ESHR monitoring over the period of that support.</p><p>Where a relevant project is identified as having a high potential impact on the environment and/or social matters/human rights, UKEF publishes Category A notices to inform stakeholders of its consideration of such a project.</p><p>Furthermore, from 1 April 2020, UKEF has committed to consider how it will take account of climate change within its decision-making processes across <em>all</em> its products. This consideration will be proportionate to the risks and impacts associated with the projects and its support.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 02/12/2020 12:25:46 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
