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.
As an EU body, the EIB is committed to achieving the highest possible level of transparency in all its activities towards external and internal stakeholders.
The EIB Transparency Policy regulates the Bank's approach to transparency related issues. Since its merging with the Public Disclosure Policy at the beginning of 2010, the Transparency Policy also defines the EIB's disclosure principles and practices. It is guided by openness with the underlying presumption that, whenever possible, information concerning the Bank's operational and institutional activities will be made available to third parties in the absence of a compelling reason for confidentiality.
The EIB's Transparency Policy incorporates the relevant provisions of the EU Treaties and legislation including provisions concerning the application of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters to Community institutions and bodies.
The Bank prepares a report on its disclosure activities on an annual basis.
