November 18, 2019 — The fourth iteration of the Equator Principles (EP4) was launched in Singapore with over 100 attendees from Equator Principles Financial Institutions, Development Finance Institutions, and Export Credit Agencies.
Referencing the IFC Performance Standards, the Equator Principles serve as a common baseline and risk management framework for financial institutions to identify, assess, and manage environmental and social risks when financing projects.
Over the years, the Equator Principles signatories have drawn from IFC’s extensive technical resources and have worked closely with IFC to develop practitioner knowledge on environmental and social risk management.
