UK Export Finances approach to Environmental, Social and Human Rights (ESHR) Risk Management

UK Export Finance (UKEF) examines the environmental, social and human rights (ESHR) risks and potential impacts of cases it is asked to support and monitors their ESHR performance in line with our published ESHR Policy. This is to make sure that relevant projects and cases supported by UKEF align with the applicable international ESHR standards, both before we provide our support and throughout the duration of that support. In addition, we collaborate with other export credit agencies and financial institutions regarding ESHR matters to share good practice around implementing proportionate and effective ESHR risk management.

UKEFs Sustainability Policy statement

We published our UKEF Sustainability Policy Statement in 2023, which sets out the sustainability factors UKEF considers and how these are embedded across our business activities.
