The EIB today released its 2023 Sustainability Report, the results of which showcase its achievements in the areas of climate action and environmental sustainability. The report underscores the commitment of the European Investment Bank Group, which consists of the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund, to promoting sustainable development and inclusive growth through strategic investments and innovative projects in Europe and globally.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a CZK 1.3 billion (about €53.2 million) loan agreement with Brněnské vodárny a kanalizace (BVK), the municipal water and wastewater company in the Czech city of Brno. The operation will upgrade the sewage sludge treatment facility of BVK’s Modřice wastewater plant, thus further improving environmental protection and public services in Czechia’s second biggest city.
A €100 million (CZK 2.5bn) European Investment Bank (EIB) loan to MONETA will increase economic opportunities for small and mid-sized businesses in Czechia. At least 12% of the loan will be allocated to projects with a positive impact on the climate or the environment. In addition, MONETA has committed to doubling this allocation: it will offer over CZK 700 million to entrepreneurs and small businesses to finance their sustainable business projects in the near future.
