JOINT LETTER

The EIB decision-makers will soon gather to decide what to do with the policy that is supposed to ensure that public money is not given to polluting companies, banks or investment funds that still fuel the climate crisis. This is why Counter Balance, together with 8 organisations, is calling on the Board of the Bank to close the loopholes and ensure that there are no more exceptions that greenwash fossil giants.
