Radio Munda Real interview of Paul Corbit Brown, from the Keepers of the Mountain Foundation

Friends of the Earth France are together with Action Aid France and CRID for the seventh year in 2014 organizing the “Sustainable Development Pinocchio Awards” and has nominated the company “Crédit Agricole” as one of the three companies in the category ”One for all, all for me!” – a category that is awarded to the company that has the most aggressive policy in terms of land grabbing, exploitation or destruction of natural resources. Crédit Agricole has been nominated for its financing of the destruction of the Appalachians Mountains.

Crédit Agricole 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. Crédit Agricole adopted the Equator Principles in 2003.

Reporting on the Equator Principles

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