European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is a leading multilateral development institution with a long-standing commitment to supporting sustainable and responsible mining across its regions of operation. With more than 30 years of investment experience in the mining and natural resources sector, the EBRD has played a pivotal role in helping countries develop resilient, transparent, and high-impact mineral value chains. Since its founding, the EBRD has invested over EUR 3 billion in more than 70 mining and mining-services projects, spanning exploration, extraction, processing. Its portfolio covers a wide spectrum of commodities—from base and precious metals to strategic minerals essential for the global energy transition such as lithium, nickel, copper, manganese and graphite. EBRD financing supports both private sector players and state-owned entities, always with a focus on best-in-class environmental, social, governance (ESG) standards and measurable development impact. With its strong track record, deep sector knowledge, and commitment to high standards, the EBRD continues to be a trusted partner for mining companies and investors seeking long-term growth, operational sustainability, and strategic impact across emerging markets.
