Its role Investor / Financier
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the European Union’s long-term lending institution, owned by the EU Member States and headquartered in Luxembourg. Established in 1958, it finances projects that support EU policy goals, including climate action, innovation, infrastructure, and competitiveness.
Operating as part of the EIB Group alongside the European Investment Fund (EIF), the Bank provides loans, guarantees, equity and quasi-equity, and advisory services to public and private counterparts across Europe and selected markets worldwide. Its financing follows rigorous technical, environmental, and social due diligence.
For the chemical and materials sectors, the EIB supports decarbonisation and circular economy initiatives such as industrial electrification, low‑carbon process upgrades, recycling technologies, and sustainable materials manufacturing. It also backs research, development, and scale‑up of clean technologies that reduce emissions, improve resource and energy efficiency, and enhance the resilience of industrial value chains.
