				    	<div class="description"><b><span class='convert_date'>2012-01-09 11:54:14</span> - </b>On the 1st of March 2011, Netwerk Vlaanderen and its partner organisations in the Bankroet campaign buried coal in front of Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and ING, putting the dirty energy source where it belongs: under the ground. Netwerk Vlaanderen handed over more than 4.000 signatures against investments in coal-fired power plants to the respective banks. These banks are among the biggest financiers of coal-fired power plants in the Belgian banking sector.	    					        				</div>

Issues

ING 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. ING adopted the Equator Principles in 2003.

Reporting on the Equator Principles

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

ING is in compliance with its reporting obligations. The 2017 report can be found here.
