EACOP is committed to contributing to the sustainable development of Uganda and Tanzania. Through the shared value of activities enhancing the socio-economic and environmental conditions of host communities, EACOP aims to leave a positive impact legacy. Positive social and environmental impact will be achieved through:
- shared value creation from our core activities, guided by our Sustainability Priorities
- impact mitigation and offsetting activities which exceed IFC Performance Standards requirements if possible
- discretionary social and environmental impact activities.
- Social and Environmental Investment (SEI) is discretionary spending on socio-economic development and environmental conservation activities which is separate from impact mitigation, but which could have synergies with impact mitigation/alignment with EACOP activities and geography (e.g., youth economic empowerment in project affected districts). SEI activities will amplify and complement our IFC Performance Standards compliance activities
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is discretionary spending on sponsorships, donations, and public relations activities separate from impact mitigation, and which is not necessarily aligned to EACOP activities and geography (e.g., sponsoring a museum exhibition linked to archaeological artefacts identified in the pipeline corridor). CSR activities will focus on additional areas where our Sustainability Priorities and stakeholder expectations align.
