At the EBRD, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do
Environmentally sound and sustainable development is central to our mandate. We promote it throughout our activities as a core element of our work.
A clearly defined set of standards governs all our work as we strive to build a healthy investment climate and promote environmentally and socially sound and sustainable development.
Equal access to economic opportunity is essential for sustainable market development.
Sustainability is a big part of what we do – and we help our clients make it a big part of what they do too. The annual EBRD Sustainability Awards celebrate the achievements of our clients in promoting environmental and social responsibility. For over 15 years we have been proud to recognise those who demonstrate excellence and commitment in managing environmental and social issues, promoting energy efficiency, combating climate change and advancing inclusion.
The Sustainability Awards recognise achievements in six categories: sustainable energy, climate resilience, environmental and social best practice, environmental and social innovation, gender and economic inclusion, and financial intermediaries.
The EBRD's Environmental and Social Advisory Council (ESAC) was created shortly after the Bank was founded in 1991. It is an independent body of environmental specialists who advise the Bank on environmental issues such as policy, international standards, technical development, emerging trends and future opportunities.
ESAC members are appointed for three year periods, and are selected based on professional expertise as well as their potential to contribute to the development of the EBRD’s policies and programmes. They represent a wide spectrum of interests including non-governmental organisations, the private sector, and academic and research institutions.
ESAC members and EBRD staff maintain regular contact between meetings, which are normally held twice a year.
