EBRD projects News stories Contacts

We are committed to providing quantitative and qualitative information on the impacts and outcomes of our work, so that our shareholders, donors, civil society and investors can be confident that the underlying green project portfolio is delivering real environmental and sustainability benefits.

Environmental and Social Policy

We have been reporting on our sustainability activities annually since 2005. Each year, our Sustainability Report details the major achievements and milestones over the previous 12 months, reporting on three key aspects of our work: Impact, Assurance and Engagement. The report also discloses the Bank’s own carbon footprint figures, as well as exploration of areas where we need to step up our efforts.

We have defined 10 performance requirements covering the key areas of environmental and social issues

To guide our clients in implementation of our requirements, we have a host of resources available including guidance and good practice notes, compliance documents and e-manuals

Monitoring and reporting

The EBRD has a robust monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system, in line with internationally established practice. The system’s guidelines define the characteristics of green projects and project components and they determine the data required for monitoring.

The EBRD also has other reporting, disclosure and feedback mechanisms in place for our sustainability work.
