Eksportfinans ASA formally adopts the Equator Principles, a voluntary set of guidelines for determining, assessing and managing social and environmental risk in project financing.
Since its establishment in 2003, more than 60 international banks have adopted the Equator Principles, including the majority of the world’s leading project lenders. The Equator Principles apply to all new project financings globally with total project capital costs of US$10 million or more, and across all industry sectors.
The adoption of the Equator Principles is consistent with Eksportfinans’ commitment to participating in environmentally and socially sustainable projects, and will be an important tool in further ensuring sustainable project finance.
