Our Mission is to further the objectives of the European Union by making long-term finance available for sound investment.
The EIB Group promotes Corporate Responsibility through its mission and activities in the service of the European Union, through the way it implements these and through its internal management.
The EIB attaches great importance to engaging with civil society and building cooperative relations with its representatives.
The EIB is the long-term financing institution of the European Union and its mission is to help implement the EU's policy objectives. It operates under a rolling three year operational plan, approved by its Board of Directors and updated every year.
The operational plan 2012-2014 responds to an environment in which Europe has the difficult task of addressing the impact of the economic crisis while accelerating its transition to a smarter, greener and sustainable economy.
It has been defined by reference to the need to maintain appropriate lending volumes and optimise value-added whilst respecting the Bank’s risk bearing capacity.
It reconfirms the Bank’s long term financial sustainability and its continued strategy to strengthening key financial and risk ratios.
The focus for planned lending activities remains on the EU. In taking a long-term investment position in projects, the EIB has a catalytic impact in the EU in the short to medium-term.
The Bank remains committed to its mandates outside the EU. The focus will rest on Pre-Accession countries and Neighbours in the East and the South. The Bank will take the necessary steps to address as best as possible the expectations of the European Parliament and Council within the resources available.
