Statement by Finiancial Institutions on Energy Efficiency Finance
Launched in September 2015 by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the UN Environment Program Financial Initiative (UNEP FI), the ‘Statement by Financial Institutions on Energy Efficiency Finance’ aims at informing banks from all regions, and at mobilizing them to express their interest in financing energy efficiency. It contributes to increasing the visibility and awareness on the topic, while highlighting the key contribution of banks.The objective is for banks to embed energy efficiency finance into their strategy and business operations and further promote the topic to their clients, therefore initiating an in-depth transformation of those institutions. This initiative is open to a broad range of financial institutions including commercial banks, micro finance and leasing companies.The Statement encompasses nine points through which banks recognize the importance of energy efficiency and the opportunity it represents, and commit to contribute to scaling up energy efficiency investments
