Climate and environmental sustainability
We finance climate action and environmental sustainability projects around the world to place the economy on a path to net zero.
Development finance
Through EIB Global, our dedicated arm, we invest around the world to create stability, promote sustainable growth and fight climate change.
Innovation, digital and human capital
Our societies face challenges, such as the climate crisis, ever ageing and growing populations and dwindling resources. We help societies in their efforts to boost technological innovation and invest in their people, as a necessary solution to overcome these issues.
Sustainable energy and natural resources
We are a key player in developing the offshore wind sector and in establishing supply chains. We also support electricity network investments for transmission and distribution.
Sustainable cities and regions
We support projects that make life in urban areas more sustainable. We also promote safe, affordable, green and efficient urban transport around the world.
Small and medium-sized enterprises
Smaller companies are a driving force for economic development. Together with the European Investment Fund, we support businesses with a wide range of intermediated products.
Cohesion
The EU cohesion policy aims to bring about prosperity among all EU Member States. Our projects seek to address inequalities in all regions by providing job and education opportunities, access to public infrastructure and services, and a healthy and sustainable environment.
Social sustainability
Social sustainability is fundamental in everything we do. Equality, human dignity and support for fragile and vulnerable countries are central to our mission.
Solidarity with Ukraine
Following Russia's unjustified attack to Ukraine, we remain committed to supporting the country for its most urgent needs and its effort to reconstruct.
Our projects
From a breakthrough vaccine against COVID-19 to clean energy in Poland or safer drinking water in Lesotho, the European Investment Bank finances sustainable projects that have a positive impact on people and the planet.
We help finance large and small-scale investment projects that support EU policy objectives.
