Who we are

The Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group (EEFIG) was established in 2013 by the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy (DG Energy) and United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). It created an open dialogue and work platform for public and private financial institutions, industry representatives and sector experts to identify the barriers to the long-term financing for energy efficiency and propose policy and market solutions to them.

EEFIG has engaged 120 participants from 100 organisations throughout the European Union to deliver clear and unambiguous messages and now embarks on a new phase to take important steps forward to ensure that all relevant stakeholders, particularly the financial institutions are actively contributing to meeting Europe’s long-term climate and energy objectives.
