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 on the project disclosure page, the EBRD is providing a loan of approx. EUR 35 million of committed facility and potentially up to EUR 18 million of uncommitted term facility to CLIP Logistyka sp. z o.o., STS Logistic sp. z o.o. and CLIP Terminals sp. z o.o., part of CLIP Group S.A., one of the largest privately owned logistics groups in Poland and the Central and Eastern Europe region.

The Bank's financing is part of a broader syndicated senior financing package totalling up to EUR 342 million.

The proceeds of the Bank's financing will be used to refinance existing indebtedness and support the Group's investment programme, including:

(i) development of an automotive terminal in Zabrze,
(ii) construction of an intermodal container terminal, also in Zabrze,
(iii) development of battery-charging infrastructure and energy storage systems, and potentially,
(iv) construction of new logistics halls.

The Project aims to support the expansion of an integrated logistics platform in Poland, enhancing intermodal capacity and strengthening regional connectivity. The Bank's participation will enable the Group to continue implementing its investment programme while stabilising its capital structure through refinancing, thereby supporting scale-up of operations and improving efficiency across its logistics network.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD

The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.

You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en

You can learn more about the PCM and how to file a complaint at: http://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/project-finance/project-complaint-mechanism.html
