Eco-environmental Conservation Red Lines (ECRLs) Map Project

Problem and implemented solution

Chinese government implements strict measures of protecting core ecological area and established Eco-environmental Conservation Red Lines, which are conservation borsers set by governemnt indicating the areas that must be protected strictly. In this way, projects violating ECRLs should not receive financing service. ICBC's Eco-environmental Conservation Red Lines Map Project is mainly based on the Chinese government’s Eco-environmental Conservation Red Lines(ECRLs). Implementing ECRLs Map Project, ICBC embedded the requirements of ECRLs into the process of project loans, allowing its Global Credit Management System(GCMS) to automatically determine whether the project is within the scope of the eco-environmental conservation area. The projects in ECRLs will be carefully assessed for ecological environment risks by loan officers. Except for special cases such as ecological protection projects, financing support for those projects will not be provided by ICBC.
