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 has been the largest source of loan financing to the global water sector to date as compared with other international financing institutions. In the five-year period 2007 to 2011, EIB direct lending to water-related projects, excluding hydropower and irrigation, reached EUR 16.1bn, of which 88% was for schemes in the Member States of the European Union. A total of 158 major water supply, sanitation and flood protection projects were financed during this period, most of which were located within EU 27 countries.
The Bank’s involvement adds significant value to water projects through project preparation, advisory and technical assistance activities. This is particularly the case in regions and countries where climate and other conditions increase even more the importance of the sector.
