The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the BAI Central Office, RADDL VII, and RADDL XII. Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) is part of the transparency and public information requirements advised by the World Bank for the Resilient Philippines project.

- ESS 2: Labor and Working Conditions

- ESS 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention

- ESS 4: Community Health and Safety
