Implementation of the Equator Principles

Bankinter has defined Investment Sustainability Principles as part of its Risk Management and Control Framework. It has established financial guidelines for industries with potentially greater impact on the environment that allow it to develop measures and references that the Bank must follow in its decision-making process, considering the best practices and international standards. In line with this strategy, the Bank has adhered to the Equator Principles (2016), a leading international initiative for responsible investment in the financial sector with the objective of evaluating and managing the environmental and social risks of the projects to be financed. In 2022, 16 projects were financed (15 renewable energy projects and 1 infrastructure project) under these Principles, all of which are in European Union countries (mainly Spain and Portugal). 14 were rated as B and two as C, with investment of 434.3 million euros. A further five renewable energy projects that were not subject to this standard were also financed, with total investment of 51 million euros.
