The Assessment should first address compliance with the host country laws, regulations and permits on environmental and social matters. For every Category A and Category B Project, the EPFI's due diligence confirms, Principle by Principle, how the Project and the deal comply. The EPFI, with the independent E&S consultant's advice where applicable, evaluates compliance against the applicable standards: in Non-Designated Countries, the IFC Performance Standards together with the EHS Guidelines of the World Bank Group; in Designated Countries, the environmental and social law, regulation and permits of the host country. The review establishes overall compliance or a justified deviation; these standards are the EPFI's minimum, and for Designated Countries the EPFI also weighs whether any IFC Performance Standard should guide specific Project risks. The EPFI may apply further standards and requirements at its discretion.
