According to the Bank’s website, the proposed investment is a funded participation by IFC for up to US$30 million in a secured revolving syndicated borrowing base trade finance facility for TOI Commodities SA, Switzerland to finance TOI’s pre-export working capital needs in Moldova and Romania. The Project is for up to three (3) years with annual cleanup and commitment, which will be processed under IFC’s Global Warehouse Finance Program (“GWFP”) with the delegated authority from IFC’s Board of Directors.
This is a Category B project as per IFC's Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability (2012). Based on information reviewed by the IFC and observations during the site visits noted above, the proposed Project will have limited adverse E&S impacts that are few, site specific and largely reversible and readily addressed through existing mitigation measures and good international industry practice (GIIP). Key E&S issues which were identified included: (i) adequacy of the TOI Group’s E&S management system and organization capacity in MD and RO covering Company’s business activities; (ii) management of health and safety risks related to grain storage (e.g., dust explosion) and transport; (iii) supply chain risk assessment and management of grain sourcing, including avoidance of PS2/PS6 supply chain risks; and (iv) stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanism.
IFC’s proposed loan amount will be up to US$30 M for its own account as a lender in the syndicated Facility to support the Group’s export related trade operations across Moldova and Romania. The total Project cost is around US$260M.
Aragvi Holding International Limited, a holding company domiciled in Cyprus owns 100% in TOI.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC/MIGA
The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org
