According to the Bank’s website, the project will support the promoter's capital expenditures programme 2025-2028 to enhance and ensure quality, security and efficiency of water supply and treatment, including distribution network investments.
The aim is to secure or enhance the quality of life to up to 2.5 million residents in the provinces of Zeeland, the south-west of the province South-Holland and the west of the province North Brabant by improving the reliability and affordability of the drinking water supply service.
The main categories of the Programme are upgrading and renewal of surface and groundwater abstraction and treatment facilities (mainly pumping stations for abstraction, water treatment and softening plants and storage reservoirs), the rehabilitation and extension of supply lines including transport mains and distribution networks, the enlargement and upgrade of facilities for the supply of processed water for industrial purposes and finally measures such as the upgrade of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure which will significantly contribute to the optimization of the existing business processes.
The investment programme is geared toward securing a sustainable management of drinking water supply, production and distribution, bringing about a positive social and environmental impact.
The upgrade of pumping stations and other network and process optimization measures are examples of components with environmental/water resource efficiency impacts.
According to the Environmental and Social Data Sheet, the schemes due to their nature/type are not likely to have significant negative impacts on nature conservation areas.
Due to the nature of the works to be implemented it is anticipated that the negative environmental impacts will likely be only associated with the period of construction and will be mainly localised and temporary and reversible such as (i) minor disturbance due to pipe replacement techniques and (ii) temporary increase of traffic around the construction sites.
Evides NV, headquartered in Rotterdam, is one of the 10 Dutch water companies that provides drinking water to 2.5m inhabitants in the provinces of Zeeland, the south-west of the province South-Holland and the west of the province Brabant.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EIB
The EIB Complaints Mechanism is designed to facilitate and handle complaints against the EIB by individuals, organizations or corporations affected by EIB activities. When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal - the Complaints Mechanism Office - and one external - the European Ombudsman. A complaint can be lodged via a written communication addressed to the Secretary General of the EIB, via email to the dedicated email address: complaints@eib.org, by completing the online complaint form available at the following address: http://www.eib.org/complaints/form via fax or delivered directly to the EIB Complaints Mechanism Division, any EIB local representation office or any EIB staff. For further details, check: http://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/complaints_mechanism_policy_en.pdf
When dissatisfied with a complaint to the EIB Complaints Mechanism, citizens can then turn towards the European Ombudsman. A memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the EIB and the European Ombudsman establishes that citizens (even outside of the EU if the Ombudsman finds their complaint justified) can turn towards the Ombudsman on issues related to 'maladministration' by the EIB. Note that before going to the Ombudsman, an attempt must be made to resolve the case by contacting the EIB. In addition, the complaint must be made within two years of the date when the facts on which your complaint is based became known to you. You can write to the Ombudsman in any of the languages of the European Union. Additional details, including filing requirements and complaint forms, are available at: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/atyourservice/interactiveguide.faces
