Implementation of the Equator Principles
The Equator Principles are included in the Group’s sustainable financing policies as one of the main recommendations and principles on which these policies are based. Within the energy sector exclusion policy, it is also specified that the Equator Principles are used as a reference for defining the risk analysis framework.
Within the Bankinter Group, project finance operations are conducted by Bankinter Investment in collaboration with Bankinter’s corporate banking team. The structured finance department is responsible for developing these types of operations within Bankinter Investment.
In every PF, Bankinter Investment Team reviews the legal and ESG Due Diligence of the project, where Equator Principles compliance is required by a third party. This is done in the process of the operation analysis, prior to any finance contract.
Additionally, Bankinter also ensures a qualified and experienced third-party assessment through the integration of independent third-party advice from Altran, DNV, UL, G Advisory, and other relevant technical advisors, in the due diligence processes during the evaluation. The categorisation of projects is carried out as part of this due diligence process.
