9 Our
Planet

As part of our environmental commitment, we manage our direct impacts and operation responsibly and sustainably over time. Aligned with our Sustainability Strategy, we launched in 2022 our institutional campaign «Together for a greener future» where the promotion of good practices for the care and preservation of the environment is sought, its scope includes our employees, clients, and other stakeholders.

We also strengthen the environmental awareness of our clients, under the socio-environmental assessment we perform for investment and credit projects, aligned with our vision of sustainable banking.

On the other hand, through different initiatives we seek to reduce energy consumption and increase the number of installations with new energy e ciency technologies and use of renewable energy, thereby reducing the generation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere.

In addition, we measure and verify our ecological and carbon footprint, as well as analyzing water consumption, paper and waste generation along with the recycling of cards that we grant.

The measurement of our ecological and carbon footprint in Honduras allows us to identify and know where we are and how we are advancing in our reduction of CO2 emissions. As part of our 2023 environmental initiatives, we will expand the scope of the analysis to incorporate our operations in the countries where we are located. This exercise is carried out under the methodology of international guidelines such as the Global Footprint Network (GFN), as well as the Life Cycle Analysis guide. In turn, we rely on international standards such as ISO 14040 and 14072 Life Cycle Analysis and ISO 14044 Environmental Management System.
