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 attaches great importance to engaging with civil society and building cooperative relations with its representatives. An active dissemination of information and a constructive dialogue with civil society organisations (CSOs) are essential to improve public knowledge of and trust in the EIB as well as the Bank's ability to respond to public expectations.
The EIB acknowledges that CSOs can have a valuable input in the development of its policies and activities and provide useful information on projects the Bank considers for financing because of their understanding of local issues. The Bank engages with CSOs to address questions and issues of common interest. The EIB actively seeks contacts with organisations that can help the public and, more specifically, citizens affected by its operations find their way to information about the Bank.
A Civil Society Unit in the EIB's Communication Department acts as the first interface with civil society.
This subsite aims to provide useful information on EIB activities and policies as well as its relations to civil society.
The Bank has produced a video of the 2010 Briefing for CSOs including part of the discussions held between CSOs and EIB representatives as well as statements by EIB Vice President Philippe de Fontaine Vive Curtaz.
