In a significant milestone for sustainable banking in the Philippines, Security Bank Corporation has announced it has surpassed its 2025 sustainable finance target ahead of schedule, demonstrating strong commitment to environmental and social projects across the country.
Exceeding Targets Ahead of Time
As of October 2025, Security Bank has disbursed an impressive P99.4 billion in green and social loans, which represents an 18% exceedance over its full-year sustainable finance goal. The bank originally set this ambitious target for completion by the end of 2025 but managed to achieve it with two months to spare, reflecting the accelerating demand for environmentally conscious financing solutions.
Breaking Down the Sustainable Investments
The substantial funding has been strategically allocated across various critical sectors. Approximately P69.9 billion has been channeled into green projects, including renewable energy initiatives, green building construction, and transportation upgrades.
Among the notable achievements in the renewable energy sector, the financing has supported the development of 1.37 gigawatts of new solar and wind capacity, significantly contributing to the country's clean energy transition. Additionally, the bank has funded crucial infrastructure improvements, including the rehabilitation of Metro Manila's train rail systems, which promises enhanced public transportation for thousands of daily commuters.
Social Impact and Community Development
Beyond environmental projects, Security Bank has allocated P29.5 billion toward social development initiatives. These funds have been instrumental in expanding access to clean water, improving healthcare facilities, and creating employment opportunities across various communities in the Philippines.
The bank emphasized that this comprehensive approach to sustainable finance addresses both environmental concerns and social needs, supporting the country's journey toward inclusive growth and development.
Driving Philippines' Green Transition Forward
Security Bank officials stated that the strong uptake of their sustainable financing products underscores the growing demand for environmentally and socially responsible banking solutions in the Philippine market. The successful early achievement of their 2025 target reinforces the bank's strategic push to become a leading financial partner in the country's green and inclusive transition.
This accomplishment positions Security Bank as a key player in supporting the Philippines' commitment to sustainable development goals and climate action, while simultaneously addressing pressing social needs through targeted financial solutions.
