The bank of the European Union (EU) recognises its special responsibility to be open and transparent towards EU citizens and the public at large. Transparency contributes to the quality and sustainability of the projects we finance and helps to build trust in the EU bank. To that end, the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group has adopted this Transparency Policy, which sets out the EIB Group’s approach to transparency and stakeholder engagement and is in line with EU transparency requirements and international best practice.
