EIB 2006 Corporate Responsibility Report

The Corporate Responsibility Report 2006 provides details of the European Investment Bank's activities during 2006. It especially offers insights into the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the Bank's lending activities over the year, which aim notably to ensure the continued promotion of sustainable development (while supporting Community policies).

Prior to the compilation of the report, and in order to better shape it, an internal CR self-assessment and stakeholder identification exercise was carried out with the assistance of external experts. In compiling this report, EIB followed the new version (G3) of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. Furthermore, the report was independently certified by the 'Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE)', a consultancy firm.
