We delivered a record €6.5 billion of green economy finance in 2023. Last year 50% of our investments were green and we reached our target ahead of schedule. Here are some of our #EBRDGreen facts:

Exciting green news for Vilnius! Starting today, the city's residents and visitors can enjoy a more comfortable and sustainable way to travel around the city, thanks to the arrival of the first 20 out of 91 new, modern trolleybuses financed by the EBRD and supported by the International Cooperation and Development Fund (Taiwan ICDF). With zero tailpipe emissions, these battery and electricity-operated trolleybuses are now officially on the streets, making daily commutes more accessible and environmentally friendly. They are part of our work with the city’s urban transport company VVT to modernise their trolleybus fleet and encourage more people to use public transport. As the first EBRD Green City in the Baltic region, Vilnius is leading the way in sustainable urban development. If you’re in Vilnius, hop on board and experience these new trolleybuses for yourself!
