Tegucigalpa, July 28, 2025.- The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) presented its Sustainability Report 2023-2024, consolidating its leadership in sustainable development and marking the beginning of a new institutional stage focused on transformation, positive impact, and transparency.

The report, prepared in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, highlights the Bank's historic achievements in key areas such as environmental sustainability, social equality, and operational efficiency, in line with global demands and the commitments of member countries.

During this biennium, CABEI approved more than US$5.8 billion in financing for key projects in sectors such as health, clean energy, road infrastructure, and support for MSMEs. Of these funds, 49% went to initiatives with a positive impact on climate change, positioning the Bank as a key player in climate action. In addition, the Bank offset 100% of its institutional emissions and strengthened its environmental management system in its regional offices.

In the financial sphere, the Bank consolidated its position as a leading ESG issuer, with 13 sustainable issuances exceeding USD 3 billion, attracting international investments with a responsible approach. This was complemented by significant advances in governance, such as the implementation of new ethics, anti-corruption, and data protection policies, as well as the launch of the Public Registry of Information Requests, reinforcing transparency and accountability.

The report also highlights important achievements in gender equality and workplace well-being, including 100% female representation in institutional leadership positions, the reduction of the gender pay gap, and the adoption of a hybrid work model that promotes work-life balance.

This period marks the culmination of the 2020-2024 Institutional Strategy and the beginning of a new phase with the 2025-2029 Strategy, based on four key pillars: High-impact finance, Positive impact, Transparency, and Operational excellence. The Bank's roadmap includes specific actions to protect natural capital, promote decarbonization, strengthen human capital, and mobilize innovative resources, consolidating CABEI as a catalyst for development and comprehensive progress.

"This report reflects our commitment to sustainable development that creates more opportunities without compromising the well-being of future generations. We will continue to work hard to be the driving force behind positive transformation in the countries we serve," said Gisela Sánchez, Executive President of CABEI.

With more than six decades of history, CABEI reaffirms its commitment to present and future generations by promoting innovative solutions that improve the quality of life of all persons and foster a more just, resilient, and sustainable future.
