In September 2018 CEF made an equity investment into Cleantech Solar to support the role out of multiple C&I solar rooftop projects across Pan-Asia.

The portfolio and the pipeline projects are located in:

• India

• Cambodia

• Singapore

• Thailand

• Malaysia

• Indonesia

• Vietnam

The environmental and social risk rating of the portfolio has been classified as Category B (in accordance with CI1’s risk categorization), which is equivalent to International Finance Corporation (IFC) Category B. This is due to the limited potential for adverse social or environmental impacts associated with the activities of the business (rooftop solar installations).

Individual assets may be rated differently; for example, open access solar sites in India are generally rated individually as Category B+. This reflects the potential for adverse environmental and social impacts that extend beyond site boundaries but are largely reversible and can be addressed through relevant mitigation measures.

CI1 continues to conduct assessments of the environmental and social impacts of new projects in development and provides guidance as required. Ongoing monitoring and review of CSA’s environmental and social performance is conducted, and various environmental and social initiatives are being undertaken. These include developing an environmental management system and contributing to research on sustainable disposal of end-of-life solar panels.
