Reporting requirements of the Equator Principles
Equator Principle Financial Institutions (EPFIs) are required to publicly disclose the total number of project finance (PF) transactions and the names of the projects they have provided project finance loans under the Principles each year. Project name reporting is subject to obtaining client consent, applicable local laws and regulations, and to no additional liability for the EPFI as a result of reporting in certain identified jurisdictions. One of the problems we have identified with the EP reporting requirements is the requirement for client consent as this results in many project names not being publicly reported. This problem could be easily solved by EPFIs requiring the project name be reported as a requirement of the loan agreement.
In order to track whether EPFIs are meeting their reporting requirements under the Equator Principles we have created this table which shows how many project finance transactions were reported and how many project names were reported for each EPFI in their most recent reporting period. This data has been taken directly from the EP website. We have also provided the percentage of project names that each EPFI has reported to easily identify where EPFIs are either fulfilling or failing to fulfil their reporting requirements under the EPs. Where there is no percentage presented the EPFI has not reported having financed any project transactions in that reporting period. EPFIs that are in their first year grace period, meaning they do not have reporting data available yet, are not included in this table.
For details on EPFI project name reporting, see our Equator Principles project database.
Last update: August 24th, 2023. This database is updated twice annually. (Data for previous reporting periods is available here). EPFIs with a percentage of project names reported over 100% have likely reported the names of other transaction types, resulting in them reporting more names than project finance details.
EPFIs reporting status
Project name reporting status of Equator Principles signatories for each financial institutions' most recent reporting period. Where there is no percentage presented the EPFI has not reported having financed any project transactions in that reporting period.
