Equator Principles (EP4, 2020) P2: Environmental and Social Assessment

For Category A and B projects the client conducts an Environmental and Social Assessment proportionate to the nature, scale and risks of the project, addressing relevant environmental and social risks/impacts and proposing mitigation, monitoring and management measures. The Assessment includes climate change risk assessment per Annex A (physical and transition risk, with TCFD-aligned reporting and alternatives analysis for projects emitting >= 100,000 tCO2e/year) and human rights due diligence per Annex B (consistent with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights).

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • UNGP-17 Human Rights Due Diligence
  • UNGP-18 Assessing Actual and Potential Impacts
  • TCFD-RM-A Processes for Identifying and Assessing Climate-Related Risks

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
