Issues

Credit Suisse 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. Credit Suisse adopted the Equator Principles in 2003.

Reporting on the Equator Principles

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