Three years ago, with little fanfare, ten of the world's leading financial institutions chose to adopt the Equator Principles. These guidelines ensure that the projects they fund do not harm the environment or impact local communities negatively. Among these early adopters was an unexpected name: Citigroup.
Today, the number of banks adhering to these principles has grown to 41, including well-known American banks like Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. These banks collectively identify as the Equator Principles Financial Institutions.
Recently, they've strengthened their commitments. Now, any project with a capital cost of over $10 million, a reduction from the previous $50 million threshold, must comply with these environmental standards.
