Common use of Environmental and Social Performance Clause in Contracts

Environmental and Social Performance. Unless MCC and the Government agree otherwise in writing, the Government shall ensure that all Projects and Activities undertaken, funded, or otherwise supported in whole or in part (directly or indirectly) by MCC Funding under the Compact comply with the Environmental Guidelines, including the environmental and social performance standards set forth in the IFC Performance Standards that have been incorporated by reference into the Environmental Guidelines. The Government also shall ensure that the Projects and Activities comply with all national environmental laws and regulations, licenses and permits, except to the extent such compliance would be inconsistent with the Compact. Where there is a difference between national environmental laws and regulations and the standards required by the Compact, the Government shall ensure that the stricter standard is followed. Unless MCC agrees otherwise in writing, the Government shall fund all costs of environmental and social mitigation measures necessary for the Program (including, without limitation, costs of resettlement) that are not specifically provided for in the Compact, or that exceed the amount of MCC Funding and/or Government Contribution specifically allocated for such costs in the Detailed Financial Plan for any Project or Activity.
