Resumo: Because of the union of efforts between European and American banks, clearly in order to maximise the actions towards a sustainable economic model, some financial institutions have created a group in 2002 in the United Kingdom, called the banks of Greenwich, which later came to be known as Equator banks. Precisely in 2003, the Equator banks announced what we know as the Equator Principles, which are voluntary initiatives of good environmental practices in funding for Project Finance. This type of financing is characterized by investing undertakings that require intensive capital, usually long-term and with many interactions with the community where it is happening. Having as background this scenario, the study aims to understand the general relations Brazilian civil society with the Brazilian signatories seats, and analyse the profile of this relationship when compared with the companies of developed countries. The theme is justified by the existence of an intense debate between civil society engaged in non-governmental organizations, and banks signatories. Financial institutions from various parts of the world, quickly joined the group of founding Equator Principles, transforming what would be a way to implement good environmental practices in their operations, in a symbol of distinction between the organizations. Exactly at this point the international literature covering the topic, has no longer checked a new approach of the Equator Principles, such as a dialogue between the banks and society, opening room for a new approach, and thus a new point of view. This work has the intention to seek this explanation, specifically in the Brazilian case, and thus to establish the context of the Equator Principles in face of the challenges of Brazilian society
