Implementation of the Equator Principles
Development Bank of Japan´s EP implementation reporting is provided at: https://www.dbj.jp/en/sustainability/initiative/equator_principles.html
DBJ carried out an Independent Review in alignment with EP Guidance dated January, 2024. DBJ’s internal procedures and a representative sample of Project-Related Corporate Loans were reviewed by Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC, between 12 March 2026 and 19 June 2026. The sample EP transactions consisted of transactions which closed between 1/1/2025 and 12/31/2025. The EP Checklist was not used for the review. No gaps in the implementation process were identified and 1 recommendation for improvement was provided. This recommendation is included in DBJ’s continuous improvement in order to address them. A further Independent Review of EP Implementation will be conducted within 1 year.
