Security Bank Corp. has surpassed its 2025 sustainable finance target ahead of schedule, disbursing ₱99.4 billion in sustainable finance loans as of October 2025—18-percent above its full-year goal of ₱83.6 billion.

A company spokesperson said this year’s ₱83.6 billion target is actually double the 2023 baseline.

“The milestone reinforces the bank’s ambition to become the preferred partner in sustainable finance and signals strong demand for green and social financing in the Philippines,” it said.

Of the total disbursed, ₱69.9 billion supported green finance initiatives, accelerating the country’s shift to cleaner, more resilient infrastructure.

Security Bank’s financing has helped enable 1.37 gigawatts (GW) of additional renewable energy (RE) capacity from solar and wind projects, four green-certified buildings contributing to reduced emissions and energy savings, and the rehabilitation of eight kilometers (km) of electric train rails in Metro Manila to improve mass transport safety and reliability.

“These investments position the bank as an enabler of the Philippines’ transition to low carbon development and energy security,” Security Bank said.

On the social development front, Security Bank disbursed ₱29.5 billion to projects that expand access to essential services, promote inclusive growth, and generate employment.

These projects delivered access to clean water for about 500,000 households, 1.5 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of capacity enhancements to strengthen supply chain and community access to vital goods, 544 hospital beds and clinic rooms, as well as job and socioeconomic opportunities for over 400,000 individuals, with a majority benefitting women.

These outcomes underscore the bank’s commitment to supporting both economic and social resilience.

Security Bank said it continues to deepen its sustainable finance expertise and broaden its market leadership through capability building, strategic partnerships, and industry engagement.

The bank invested heavily in upskilling teams through learning sessions with the World Bank Group’s (WBG) International Finance Corp. (IFC), the Department of Energy (DoE), and the Board of Investments (BOI)—equipping relationship managers and frontliners with tools to identify, structure, and evaluate green and social finance opportunities.

These initiatives enhance team readiness and ensure the bank can originate high-quality sustainable finance deals.

Security Bank amplified its role in renewable energy and climate finance by becoming the only financial institution participating in Solar & Storage Live Philippines and engaging with clean energy developers, technology providers, and government partners to unlock scalable investments

The bank said its significant progress toward its sustainable finance goals demonstrates continued momentum in delivering positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes.

By expanding capabilities, deepening partnerships, and investing in knowledge platforms, the bank is well-positioned to help accelerate the country’s green and inclusive transition.
