A. Integration of Environmental and Social Safeguards into Appraisal Process of Loan Applications from Microenterprises The integration of the E & S Safeguards requirements with the MEL sanctioning process is described in this section.
MEs that are likely to involve the following are considered PROHIIBITED
ACTIVITIES and are not to be supported: displacement of people (loss of assets and livelihoods), impact on indigenous people, forced labour or child labour, production or trade in illegal products or activities, slaughter houses, tanneries, wildlife products, weapons, ammunition, alcohol, tobacco products, gambling, radioactive materials, unbounded asbestos fibre, commercial logging, and harmful fishing practices. MEs that are classified in the RED category in the state (and those involving use of chemicals, PCB manufacture, dyeing and electroplating) are considered to be in the HIGH risk category. In considering these cases for MEL, investments in cleaner production technology will be encouraged. The client is informed that the proof of valid Consent for Establishment and Operation from the State Pollution Control Board are required to be submitted prior to the disbursement of the loan. The client is also informed that Social Safeguards compliance would be checked at the MEL Client Review/Appraisal stage.
MEs in ORANGE category (and those involving lead-acid batteries, health care establishments, brick manufacture, and plastics manufacture) are considered to be in the MEDIUM risk category. The client is also informed that Social Safeguards compliance would be checked at the MEL Client Review/Appraisal stage, the client is informed that the proof of such Consent is not necessarily required for the purpose.
MEs in GREEN category are considered to be in the LOW risk category, and for these the client is informed that Environmental Issues and Social Safeguards compliance would be checked at the MEL Client Review/Appraisal stage. For states where there is a requirement of valid Consent for Establishment and Operation from the State Pollution Control Board (or from another designated authority) for the GREEN category, the client is informed that the proof of such Consent is not required to be submitted prior to the starting of the business.
