Towards a new strategy for the EIB Group

The Climate Bonds Initiative, an international, investor-focused not-for-profit, has awarded the EIB for being the largest development bank green bond issuer over the last 10 years.

This week, the EIB Group proudly participates in Pride 2020 celebrations in Luxembourg, where our headquarters are based. As an EU body, the EIB Group adheres to the EU’s motto “United in Diversity.” Pride celebrations in Europe and around the world remind us on the one hand of the improvements in equality for LGBT+ citizens, but also of the importance to protect those rights and to combat all forms of discrimination both in the workforce and in society in general.

The 2X Challenge is a multilateral initiative launched during the G7 Charlevoix Summit in June 2018 with the ambitious objective of deploying and mobilising unprecedented amounts of capital to support projects that empower women as entrepreneurs, as business leaders, as employees and as consumers of products and services that enhance their economic participation.
