About CaixaBank

CaixaBank was founded in 1980, and is currently Spain's leading retail bank. The bank operates through three segments: banking and insurance, real estate activity, and investments. With the mergers and takeovers of Banca Cívica and Banco de Valencia, and the retail banking, wealth management and corporate banking businesses of Barclays in Spain, CaixaBank has strengthened its position in the Spanish financial market. At the end of 2016 CaixaBank held assets totalling EUR 347.9 billion.

CaixaBank signed the Equator Principles in March 2007, and is therefore part of BankTrack's Equator Principles Track and Chase project.

Issues

CaixaBank and the Equator Principles

The Equator Principles are a voluntary commitment of banks to try to avoid or minimise the social, environmental and human rights impact of projects they finance. For more information on the Equator Principles see their website here and the campaign page of BankTrack here.

The Equator Principles exist already since 2003. CaixaBank adopted the Equator Principles in 2007.

Reporting on the Equator Principles

CaixaBank must report annually on its implementation of the Equator Principles. All information is supposed to be found here.
