SEK is comfortable with financing the project by following our due diligence process, for example by reviewing impact assessments; engaging independent consultants; and following up and evaluating identified risks and issues found and agree on action plans and monitoring activities.

We are aware of and have engaged on the issues raised by BHRRC as well as other environmental and social risks raised by civil society.
