Partnering for human rights
Respect for human rights is a fundamental value of the European Investment Bank. We are committed to promoting human rights in our activities and invest in projects that enhance quality of life, inclusion and equal opportunities for everyone. We work closely with EU organisations and other international financial institutions to strengthen our impact worldwide.
IN FOCUS
Moving to action
We have made a lot of progress on human rights, but there is still more to do. We acknowledge challenges in ensuring our clients’ human rights performance – especially in more fragile environments – and work hard to improve their and our own impact.
Following broad public consultation, the EIB Group adopted a new Environmental and Social Sustainability Framework (ESSF), which outlined for the first time our vision on how to address environmental and social challenges, as well as uphold human rights. We’ve now gone further by releasing our approach to human rights.
