Banks play a crucial role in helping people and businesses thrive. Whether it’s providing loans to entrepreneurs, assisting families secure their future, or making everyday banking easier, financial institutions keep the economy moving. They enable businesses to expand, jobs to grow, and communities to flourish.
At BDO, growth goes hand in hand with purpose. By supporting enterprises, expanding financial access to Filipinos and financing worthwhile initiatives, the Bank helps create meaningful opportunities. From funding clean energy to bringing banking services in underserved areas, BDO is committed to growth with purpose – ensuring that progress helps uplift lives.
Empowering Growth through Sustainable Finance
As a pioneer in sustainable finance, BDO continues to fund large-scale projects that drive economic development while reducing the country’s carbon footprint. This means supporting key industries that boost local economies while contributing to a more sustainable future. BDO has financed PHP1.04 trillion in sustainable finance to date, including 63 renewable energy projects nationwide and in other parts of Asia.
In 2024, BDO successfully issued its second and third ASEAN Sustainability Bonds under the BDO Sustainable Finance Framework (SFF) to finance green and social projects, ranging from renewable energy to clean transport and sustainable agriculture and fisheries.
The overwhelming support from retail and institutional investors for these financial instruments, issued at record highs of PHP63.3 billion and PHP55.7 billion, respectively, reaffirms confidence in BDO’s leadership and credibility in sustainable finance.
BDO’s SFF is currently the most comprehensive framework in the Philippines for Green, Blue, Social, and Gender financing, with 29 eligible categories certified with a Second Party Opinion by Morningstar Sustainalytics.
Investing in a Sustainable Future through BDO Private Bank (BDOPB), in collaboration with Branch Banking Group (BBG), played a key role in the success of the ASEAN Sustainability Bonds, significantly increasing both retail and institutional client investments from PHP3 billion in 2023 to PHP20 billion in 2024.
BDO remains committed to raising awareness among its stakeholders about how BDO leads sustainable initiatives whenever possible – championing resource preservation and creating lasting benefits for future generations.
