By James R. Barrett, Paul A. Davies, and Michael D. Green
On 18 November 2019, the Equator Principles Association (EP Association) adopted the most recent iteration of the Equator Principles (EPs), the fourth version of the EPs that has been released since their inception in 2003 (EP4). The final content of EP4 is very similar to that of the draft text, which was published earlier this year for stakeholder consultation (see Equator Principles Association Releases Equator Principles 4 for Consultation).
