Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

As stated by the IFC, the Project is a combination of investment preparation and proposed financing to Eneris Alpha S.A., a Luxembourg based company and sole owner of a leading Warsaw-based group with vertically integrated waste management operations in Poland. IFC’s pre-investment support to the Company focuses on development of Eneris’ long-term sustainability and circular economy strategy and strengthening of corporate E&S capacity to support the Company’s growth ambitions.

IFC seeks to provide an up to EUR 80 million financing to Eneris Alpha S.A. The IFC's proposed investment will be used to finance greenfield circular economy projects and strategic acquisitions in the waste management sector in Poland, including municipal and industrial waste collection, sorting and recycling, battery recycling, hazardous waste management, biogas plants, as well as refinancing and strengthening of the Company's capital structure.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

As stated by the IFC, the location of the planned biogas plant is in proximity to an existing biogas plant and within the boundaries of a designated Natura 2000 site.

The HW landfill is planned to be located on a former sulphur mine, which will need to undergo an environmental assessment to identify and delineate potential historical contamination.

Private Actors Description
A Private Actor is a non-governmental body or entity that is the borrower or client of a development project, which can include corporations, private equity and banks. This describes the private actors and their roles in relation to the project, when private actor information is disclosed or has been further researched.

As stated by the IFC, Eneris is a private company, currently indirectly and wholly owned by Mr. Artur Dela, a Polish-born entrepreneur who initially acquired the Polish waste management business in 2015 and significantly expanded it by developing new product lines in waste management, thereby strengthening its position among the sector’s leaders in Poland.

Eneris has been present in the Polish market since 2014 and is a waste management company involved in the collection, processing, recycling, recovery of raw materials and energy from waste, and finally, disposal of the residual, further untreatable materials. In 2015, the Eneris Group purchased the assets of Veolia Uslugi dla Srodowiska, a company active mainly in municipal waste collection and treatment and created Eneris Surowce, one of the largest Polish companies in sustainable growth full-cycle waste treatment. All acquired assets were already operational. Eneris operates 26 waste management plants/facilities and provides waste collection and winter/summer road maintenance services for municipalities across Poland in 14 voivodeships and over 100 municipalities in Poland, providing services to approximately 1.4 million inhabitants and over 3,000 commercial and industrial clients.
