Bank of America 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. Bank of America adopted the Equator Principles in 2004.

Reporting on the Equator Principles

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

Dodgy Deals

Bank of America is involved in financing the following Equator Principles projects that BankTrack considers controversial.
