Environmental and social policy [EBRD

The 2008 Environmental and Social Policy is a key document of the Bank which details the commitments of the agreement establishing the Bank particularly for the "promotion of environmentally sound and sustainable development". The 2003 Environmental Policy has been revised in order to reaffirm and strengthen these commitments and also to enhance commitments to social issues and good governance.

As part of the revision process, the Bank undertook an extensive public consultation exercise. As a result of this exercise, the Bank received extensive comments which have significantly aided the policy review. Read more under Environmental policy review.

The 2008 Policy will be translated over a number of years.

The 2003 Environmental Policy is still in effect until 12 November 2008, and is also available in the following languages:
