Environmental and Social Summary
Categorised B (2014 ESP). Due diligence confirmed that the Project does not involve the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)and that therefore, the environmental and social (E&S) risks associated with the works are site specific and can be managed via the implementation of a targeted action plan. Due diligence involved a review of a detailed questionnaire and technical due diligence report, and follow-up Q&A with the client. An Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) has been drafted and agreed with the client to structure the Project in line with the Bank’s E&S requirements.
Due diligence has identified that the client has well developed management plans that address issues related to product quality and pharmaceutical GMP, including pharmacovigilence and product recall risks. The company has internal capacity to manage EHS risks and is in the process of implementing risk management systems that will be accredited to ISO 14001 (environment) and OHSAS 18000 (occupational health and safety - OHS). The ampoule technology and equipment is being sourced from, and commissioned by, German and Swiss suppliers and is compliant with both Uzbek and EU regulations and standards. Evaluation of the Project and the client's capability to implement the works in compliance with the Bank's Performance Requirements did identify a number of areas that required their inclusion in the ESAP. These issues include full implementation of the environmental and OHS management systems; implementation of procedures to evaluate supply chain E&S risks; implementation of a contractor management plan; upgrade the employee grievance mechanism to meet the requirements of PR2; and implement a Stakeholder Engagement Plan in line with PR10.
