Compliance Monitoring

The Safeguard Unit (SGU) conducts both regular and surprise visits to project sites for environmental safeguard compliance monitoring. SGU will communicate with the FIP and confirm from time to time that the FIP is undertaking the obligations of compliance with all applicable environmental safeguard requirements. In case of any actual or potential breach of the compliance requirements, SGU will immediately report on the issue. Environmental safeguard performance will be evaluated on a semi-annual basis.
