Environmental and social categorisation, impact, and mitigation
Due diligence was undertaken by an independent consultant. This included a review of the management systems and activities of the company; an audit of the maintenance depot and an environmental analysis of the proposed investment programme. The due diligence indicates that there are no major issues but that the company needs to improve overall Environmental and Social (“E&S”) and human resources management. An Environmental and Social Action Plan (“ESAP”) has been agreed that includes the requirement to develop a Health, Safety and Environmental (“HSE”) system, standards and procedures for the business and appoint staff responsible for implementation; improve environmental and health & safety performance at the depot site; implement a traffic safety management system and training for drivers; prepare an emergency response plan; and implement a grievance procedure for workers. A Stakeholder Engagement Plan (“SEP”) has also been agreed.
Detailed plans for the redevelopment of the depot have not yet been developed, though no land acquisition is anticipated at this time. Final plans will be subject to a separate assessment once they are finalised and any mitigation measures required will be included in an updated ESAP.
