Underlying all EBRD investments is a commitment to sustainability. This means that the Bank applies sound banking principles to all of its operations and takes account of environmental, social and governance issues when approving new projects. The EBRD engages in open dialogue with local communities and encourages individuals and non-governmental organisations to comment on project proposals and new Bank strategies.
The Sustainability Report addresses every aspect of the Bank’s commitment to sustainable development and corporate responsibility in our investment activities and internal operations. This report aims to present, in one document, a comprehensive overview of the Bank’s activities related to sustainability.

The Sustainability Report 2008 focuses on the Bank’s impact on people and the environment in its countries of operations and also describes how the Bank operates internally. It highlights the EBRD’s sustainability initiatives and projects and demonstrates that in a time of financial crisis the EBRD is even more ready to contribute to and achieve sustainable development.
