Project scope and objective
IDB Invest is considering an investment of up to US$15 million in CargoX (the “Company”). The latter is perhaps the largest trucking marketplace and online freight broker in Brazil. CargoX's platform enables truck owner-operators to make use of excess capacity and avoid empty return trips, thus improving freight visibility, reducing shipping costs, reducing emissions, and boosting income for truck drivers.
As the Company grows, it expects to positively impact thousands of truck drivers and small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) across Brazil and potentially to Latin America. IDB Invest funds will be used for technology building, marketing & sales initiatives and general working capital needs.
During covid-19 emergency crisis, online platforms such as CargoX have become a key tool for resilience for the transport sector and supply chains in Brazil.

Environmental and social review
IDB Invest conducts an environmental and social due diligence (ESDD) commensurate with the nature, scale, and stage of the project, and with its level of environmental and social risks and impacts. The ESDD will confirm the project E&S categorization and assess the project with respect to the client requirements in IDB Invest Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy. The results of the ESDD, including any identified gaps are described in the Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) provided below. For projects approved as of 2016, any gaps with respect to IDB Invest's Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy at the time of the ESDD are addressed in the Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) presented below, to comply with the date mentioned above.
