The Equator Principles

The Equator Principles (the EPs) are a set of guidelines that have been adopted by over 100 banks and financial institutions in connection with project finance deals. The EPs provide a framework for assessing and managing the environmental and social risks associated with a project. Their aim is to eradicate the negative impact of projects on the environment and local communities or, where that is not possible, to ensure that such impacts are reduced, mitigated and/or compensated for appropriately.

Lawyers advising on certain project finance transactions have to understand the guidelines in the EPs, not least because where the EPs apply to a project, certain terms must be included in the finance documents to reflect them.
