Dear Mr. Ross,
We recognize the changes that EDC has made over the past few years to enhance transparency, increase consultation and ensure internal compliance.
It is in this context of openness that we are writing to inquire whether you are considering providing any sort of loan, insurance, guarantee or other form of financial assistance for the troubled Inco Goro Nickel mine in New Caledonia, a project which would appear to violate EDC’s environmental guidelines.
