Associate Environment and Sustainability Department

The overarching role of ESD is to deliver the Bank’s commitments to promote environmental and social sustainable development in all its activities as enunciated in the Articles Establishing the Bank, and the commitments of the ESP. ESD does this by assessing and managing the environmental and social risks of projects utilising both the internal expertise of ESD and external experts as necessary.  In parallel, ESD is also responsible for the review and verification of Paris alignment, green finance and physical climate risks.  

The ESP is one of the Bank’s three good governance policies and a key document that guides the EBRD’s commitment to promoting “environmentally sound and sustainable development” in the full range of its investment and operational activities.  It sets out the ways in which we implement this commitment in practice and on our projects. The 2024 ESP and related Environmental and Social Requirements (ESRs) were approved by the EBRD Board of Directors in October 2024 and applies to projects initiated after 1 January 2025. Therefore, ESD will be applying the new ESP on the investments they will be working on.
