<p>As advised in the response to the previous questions (200185, 200186 and 200187),
UK Export Finance (UKEF) follows the UK government’s policy towards engagement with
China set out in the Integrated Review and elsewhere.</p><p> </p><p>UKEF is committed
to high standards of environmental, social and human rights (ESHR) risk management.
Its specialist ESHR team reviews projects for ESHR risks and impacts before any decision
on support is made. If a decision is taken to provide support, UKEF undertakes ESHR
monitoring of the project for the duration of that support.</p><p> </p><p>UKEF’s due
diligence also includes appropriate assessment of attendant risks. UKEF charges a
risk-based premium to companies for its support, and has a robust recovery process
in place to protect the taxpayer and offset potential losses.</p>
