Sustainability

We are sustainability. 'There is no green, without blue and yellow'.

Here is the Manifesto that tells the story of a bank that – humbly – gives meaning to the word sustainability long before sustainability was.

 

Commitment.

Almost two centuries of service to the community, representing increased social responsibilities in terms of sustainable development. Our commitment towards each person, families, communities, companies and entities in the social and solidarity economy is renewed daily, supported by activities that follow the standards and conduct based on our fundamental values.  

Sustainability Report 2023.

It is for us more than a goal or a duty inscribed in the regulatory framework, it is a responsibility that we have with each of our stakeholders.

Our purpose.

Throughout our history, we have invested heavily in the social economy, with a return that goes beyond numbers. Tomorrow will be no different. We will continue to be the country's mutualist inspiration bank and maintain our commitment to social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

Our fingerprint on the future.

We created the ‘Sustainable Principle’ label to identify our initiatives, products and services. Its  internal or external impact contributes to at least one of the dimensions of sustainability – social, economic and environmental.
