ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL POLICY IN THE FIELD OF EXPORT CREDIT INSURANCE

In the field of export credit insurance, we strive to prevent environmental pollution and to manage the rational use of natural resources. In order to ensure that the insured projects are not harmful to the environment or would cause social conflict in the life of a given community, an environmental and social risk assessment procedure has been developed. We ensure that our procedures are always implemented in accordance with the current trends and regulations, therefore those are reviewed and updated on a yearly basis. By this Hungarian Export Credit Insurance Plc. (Hereinafter referred to as MEHIB) is able to continuously monitor and improve its impact on the environment.

In addition to the comprehensive policy decisions, it is important to reduce our environmental impact during our daily actions and to integrate the principles of sustainable development into our operations. Keeping this in mind, we encourage our employees to be environmentally conscious and responsible.

Integrating principles of environmental protection and sustainable development into our activities is not only our responsibility, but an essential step in our operations. As a result, a summary of the environmental performance of our institution was born, called the Environmental Policy of EXIM.

MEHIB has set up the strategic goal to support green projects. As a result, our institution aims to provide financing, risk-sharing and insurance solutions for EXIM's direct customers and its financial partners that support the sustainable development investments and business activities of exporters and its suppliers.

Besides its green efforts, MEHIB also pays attention to restrict unsustainable activities, therefore we have decided to introduce restrictions on the support of coal-related projects, which we have integrated into our environmental policy.

Restriction measures have been integrated into our policy and entered into force on the 1st January 2021.
