The “Equator Principles” is a financial industry benchmark for determining，assessing and managing social & environmental risk in project financing.The principles，drafted by the world primary finance institutions on the basis of the World Bank’s International Finance Corp.（IFC）’s policies and guidelines，is now becoming an industry customs which establish guidelines to ensure that banks financed only projects that were “socially responsible and reflected sound environmental management practices.”Since China is now becoming an giant investing country，the national and overseas environment requires the banking industry getting faster to get closer to the international financial system to be more competitive and to improve China’s financial environment.That’s also the reason why China should not be absent from the Equator Principles.
