Focus on transparency

As the Bank of the European Union, we have a particular responsibility to be open and transparent towards our stakeholders. We firmly believe that transparency contributes to the quality and sustainability of the projects we finance and helps to build trust in the EU bank. As a financial institution, we also need to ensure that information is protected from disclosure when disclosure would undermine legitimate rights of our counterparts.
