Summary of Sustainability Strategy
The strategy is focused on 4 pillars:
- Product Family: This is the set of products the Bank offers and continues to expand that are aligned with development goals such as green lines, credit for efficient vehicles, women-led companies, and others the Bank is going to incorporate to make a robust offer for products and services to their customers.
- Social Investment: Support to the communities where they are present – donations to causes, support to foundations, volunteer day and programs for financial education. Also, the program called “Banca con Solidaridad”, which is an electronic platform for supporting humanitarian initiatives that seek to contribute to the development of the community. One of the permanent allies is “Actua es Vivir” Foundation, which works on the early prevention of breast and cervical cancer.
- Lead by Example: This refers to the actions internally adopted to contribute to reduce the impact of the Bank’s activities such as efficient use of water and electricity, waste management and recycling, digital solutions for reducing the use of paper. These actions are towards the commitment of the bank for making the contribution to sustainable practices.
- Impact Measurement: Different mechanisms to keep track of development indicators for measuring the accomplishments in the above three pillars.
