The Bank of the Philippine Islands, widely known as BPI, a universal bank that offers a wide range of financial products and solutions, joins forces with the Manila Bulletin for Sustainability Forum 2024 to discuss how the company commits to sustainable banking.
The bank integrates environmental, social, and governance principles into its operations and incorporates economic benefits as a core component of its framework as its unique approach to sustainability.
BPI was the first bank in the Philippines to launch Sustainable Energy Finance in 2008, in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group. In addition, it has issued both green and social bonds to support projects that provide significant environmental benefits and address pressing socio-economic challenges.
On November 19 to 20, 2024, at the University of the Philippines Diliman, the Manila Bulletin Sustainability Forum, with the theme “Bridging the gap: Forging connections and perspectives on sustainability,” is set to gather industry leaders to encourage meaningful discussions on sustainability and propel collaborative efforts to formulate innovative solutions.
