Once the partnership contract has been signed, a monitoring process is set up to measure the project’s impact, by using information gathered from gap analysis and actions undertaken during the project, as well as from annual and punctual reports on the project.
It is also worth noting that our ESG assessment and monitoring process during the management phase includes meetings or calls with the project’s operators in order to confirm or disprove the initial ESG assessment, and to encourage them to improve their ESG practices as part of our engagement approach.
In this way, the assessment of a project is neither static nor limited to an analysis of the information available when the partnership contract is signed. An ESG / sustainability assessment can change over time depending on actual practices.
