We are committed to responsible and sustainable banking
BPI sets the standard for sustainable banking in the Philippines by integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into how we conduct our business – how we manage resources, how we craft the products and services we offer, how we serve our customers, and how we add value to our various stakeholders.

Why Sustainability Matters in Philippine Banking
Sustainability in banks in the Philippines is a key component for fostering long-term economic growth, environmental preservation, and social progress. As the country navigates challenges like climate change and economic inequality, sustainable banking serves as a driving force for positive change. By embedding environmentally and socially responsible practices into their operations, banks can support initiatives that align with national goals and global sustainability standards.
BPI recognizes the importance of being a sustainable bank in the Philippines, offering financial products and services that promote renewable energy, green businesses, and inclusive opportunities. These initiatives align with national and global sustainability standards, ensuring that economic development does not come at the expense of environmental integrity or social equity.
Adopting sustainable banking practices also enhances trust and strengthens partnerships with stakeholders who value accountability and long-term impact. By promoting ventures that align with ethical and sustainable principles, banks can mitigate risks while contributing to meaningful change.
At BPI, we understand that sustainability is no longer just a goal - it is a responsibility. By choosing BPI, clients become a part of a collective effort to drive progress while protecting the planet. Together, we can build a sustainable future and leave a lasting impact for generations to come.
