Carbon Principles Banks
The Carbon Principles provide a consistent approach for banks and their U.S. power clients to evaluate and address carbon risks in the financing of electric power projects. The Principles and the accompanying Enhanced Environmental Diligence Process strive to create industry best practice for evaluating options to meet the electric power needs of the United States in an environmentally responsible and cost effective manner in an uncertain policy environment.
