Bancoagrícola presented the most recent results of its sustainability strategy, reaffirming its commitment to the economic, social, and environmental development of El Salvador. With a focus on innovation, inclusion, and climate action, the institution continues to promote a banking model that generates real and measurable impact on people, businesses, and the country.
Over the past year, more than 60% of the bank’s disbursements, equivalent to more than US$1.25 billion—a 5.6% increase over the previous year—were allocated to sustainable projects that promote responsible development. This figure reflects progress toward the institutional goal of having 70% of disbursements focused on sustainability by 2030, with a projected volume of US$18 billion in sustainable financing.
Bancoagrícola’s sustainability strategy is structured around three main pillars:
• Promoting financial inclusion: US$396.8 million was channeled, of which US$158.5 million went to professionals and independent workers, and US$238.3 million to strengthening women’s economic autonomy.
• Strengthening the competitiveness of the productive sector: US$771.9 million was allocated in 2025, with US$254.7 million for agribusiness, US$58.3 million for SMEs, and US$458.9 million for exporters.
• Building sustainable cities and communities: US$83.6 million was invested in this pillar, with US$63.9 million dedicated to habitat projects and US$19.7 million for climate commitments.
Regarding the environment, Bancoagrícola has implemented a national project to incorporate solar energy and energy-efficient technologies into its infrastructure. Currently, 14 branches and administrative buildings operate with clean energy, reducing their energy consumption by up to 98.5% and avoiding the emission of 590 tons of CO₂, equivalent to removing 130 vehicles from circulation or planting 150,000 trees.
The institution has also consolidated a green portfolio of more than US$175 million, targeting renewable energy, water efficiency, circular economy, and sustainable construction projects. These investments contribute to climate change mitigation and job creation in local communities.
“Sustainability is not just a financial goal. It is the commitment to transform lives, communities, and the environment with every action we undertake. At Bancoagrícola, we believe that every disbursement, every project, and every partnership must generate real well-being. That is why we work to make sustainability visible, measurable, and, above all, experienced by the people we support”, said Ana Cristina Arango, Vice President of Business and Government at Bancoagrícola.
Alexander Pinilla, Vice President of Finance at Bancoagrícola, saidd that “these results reflect our conviction that economic growth and environmental stewardship can advance hand in hand, generating real opportunities for El Salvador. Every financial decision we make is designed to build a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future. We are committed to a banking system that drives business, protects natural resources, strengthens communities, and supports people in their life projects”.
Looking ahead, Bancoagrícola will continue mobilizing resources and supporting its clients, businesses, and communities in the transition to a low-carbon, inclusive, and resilient economy.
Bancoagrícola reaffirms its commitment to continuing to build a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable country, driving development through conscious, innovative, and accessible banking.
