The Equator Principles (EP4, July 2020) are a financial industry framework for identifying, assessing, and managing environmental and social risk in project finance, project-related corporate loans, bridge loans, and project-related refinance. Adopted by 138 financial institutions in 38 countries covering the majority of international project finance. Based on IFC Performance Standards and World Bank EHS Guidelines. EP4 covers climate change, human rights, Indigenous Peoples, biodiversity, and stakeholder engagement. Equator Principles Financial Institutions (EPFIs) commit to not financing projects that fail to meet EP requirements.
