Implementation of the Equator Principles

DNB has integrated the Equator Principles in its governance documents, including the Corporate Banking Credit Manual. Equator Principles assessments are prepared by relevant client teams in our Corporate Banking Business Areas. A dedicated Equator Principles Committee with representatives from our Project Finance and ESG team review the assessments and opines on / confirm the categorization, preferably before being presented at the relevant credit-approval level. If this is not possible or logical, for example if a social or environmental due diligence has not been carried out or has not been completed, the matter will be reviewed by the Equator Committee after being considered by the relevant credit approval body and as soon as practically possible. As part of the annual loan review, compliance with the Equator Principles is assessed and reported to the relevant credit approval body for each credit commitment.
