The operation involves a strategic partnership with Meridiam, a leading French infrastructure fund manager, to create a parallel fund that will exclusively focus on EIB Global's strategic priorities. The fund will accelerate greenfield infrastructure investments in pivotal sectors including low-carbon solutions, sustainable mobility, and essential public services, mainly in EIB Global's priority regions including EU candidate countries and the European neighbourhood regions. The parallel fund will co-invest alongside Meridiam Sustainable Infrastructure Europe V (MSIE V).
The Fund is designed to promote the development of sustainable, climate-aligned infrastructure in Europe and neighbouring regions, with an emphasis on low-carbon technologies, sustainable mobility, and critical public services. It targets greenfield infrastructure investments that strengthen connectivity and resilience, and contribute to the EU's climate objectives and Global Gateway priorities.
The Fund will be required to have an environmental and social policy and the appropriate management systems in place so as to comply with the EIB's environmental and social requirements. The assessment of the environmental, climate and social impacts and risks will be part of the standard due diligence process that the fund will have to carry out for each portfolio company and any underlying investment and, thereby ensuring that the portfolio and these investments are in compliance with national law and in line with the principles and standards of relevant EU environmental legislation as well as the EIB's Environmental and Social Standards.
The EIB will require the Fund Manager to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the EIB's Guide to Procurement.
