Since that time, EDC’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team has been applying its review process to the information provided, and will be contacting the companies involved as well as third parties that may be able to provide additional relevant and impartial information.

EDC will be pleased to share its review findings with the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre once the process is complete…EDC is committed to reviewing the business it supports for potential impacts on human rights, consistent with its commitments to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the IFC Performance Standards, and with consideration to the ILO Core Conventions.[See EDC initial response]
