Environmental and Social Summary

Category to be determined for each subproject.

The potential environmental and social (E&S) impacts of the proposed for energy efficient public lighting investments, including amongst others street lighting are likely to be site-specific and can be readily identified and addressed through adequate mitigation measures. Sub-projects are expected to result in significant environment benefits.

The due diligence for each sub-project will include an E&S review of each participating company's existing facilities and operations and their management systems to assess the past and current performance against relevant Performance Requirements (PRs).

Based on the recommendations of the due diligence an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) will be prepared for each sub-project. The ESAPs will be structured to bring the existing facilities and operations into full compliance with national and EU environmental standards. The participating companies will also develop a Stakeholder Engagement Plan in accordance with PR10.

The ESAPs will be part of the legal agreements between the participating companies and the EBRD.

The PSDs for sub-projects will summarise the due diligence results and ESAPs.
