The EBA mission is to protect and preserve bank net income and assets from environmental exposure and liability resulting from lending and trust activities through the employment of environmental risk management in the United States and worldwide. The EBA vision is to enhance visibility and awareness of environmental risk management’s global role in promoting environmentally sound lending and fiduciary activities, sustainable development, and new concepts of social responsibility for the financial services industry. EBA was started in 1994 in response to heightened sensitivity to environmental risk issues and has provided a forum for financial institutions to address environmental issues for over a decade.
