The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), a UN-convened network of banks, insurers and investors accelerating sustainable development, is a privileged partner of the Coalition. It will engage in the initiative and ensure synergies with the activities of its members, such as the
- Principles for Responsible Banking signatories
- members of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance
- members of the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance
The European Investment Bank has been continuously working together with the European Commission on energy efficiency financing. It will be a privileged member of the Coalition, participating in all its governance structures.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), a former member of the steering committee of the Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group, will continue its close cooperation on energy efficiency financing with the European Commission by being active in the Coalition.

It was directed to public and private financial institutions, such as banks, investment firms, asset managers, and insurance companies, which are authorised to conduct business in the territory of the Union, as well as their respective representative associations.
