Impact
We must protect nature
We are all affected by climate change and biodiversity loss
From pollination and timber to fish stocks and carbon capture, economies rely on the natural world. This natural capital is being destroyed by biodiversity loss and the effects of climate change.
If we don’t act, global annual GDP could decline by $2.7 trillion by 2030 – with low-income regions the most severely affected.
Latin America and Africa are on the front line of this struggle and need solutions. But businesses in these regions struggle to access the financing they need make their operations sustainable.
We must work together to address this funding gap.

Contributing to the following SDGs
Ensuring businesses can access capital
We finance businesses in agriculture and agri-processing, forestry, tourism, and fisheries and aquaculture, both directly and by operating through local financial institutions.
Working with financial institutions means we can leverage their local infrastructure, helping them expand their reach and work with more businesses to reverse biodiversity loss, and mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Lending to businesses allows us to generate a direct impact by working directly with management.

Supporting regions on the front-line of biodiversity loss
Supporting regions on the front-line of biodiversity loss
Latin America
Latin America is a region of rich and diverse ecosystems, including the Amazon Rainforest - “the lungs of the earth” and the tropical Savannah of Cerrado.
But biodiversity in the region is under severe pressure from deforestation, desertification, climate change, and unsustainable water consumption.
We must support sustainable agricultural and forestry and fishing practices that are compatible with the protection of nature across the continent.
Africa
Africa is home to one third of the world’s biological diversity, most of it found in highly biodiversity-rich areas of the Sub-Sahara, such as the Congo Basin.
But it is disappearing fast, due to the impact of climate change, the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and excessive water use.
We must promote production and consumption practices that ensure economic development and serve the needs of a growing population, while protecting nature.
”We are very pleased with the work carried out in collaboration with the eco.business Fund for the issuance of our first Sustainable Subordinated Bond. This achievement reflects our commitment to allocate resources to high-impact projects in mitigation and adaptation to climate change."
Isabel Cristina Martinez, Vice President of Sustainability and Corporate Services at Banco de Bogotá

To begin with, we help our partner institutions identify suitable businesses and ensure they are aligned with relevant regulations.
We support financial institutions and end-borrowers by promoting sustainable production practices, building capacities for environmental and social risk management, and supporting the adoption of certifications or standards aligned with sustainability goals (e.g. Rainforest Alliance, Forest Stewardship Council, Aquaculture Stewardship Council, etc.)
We also create knowledge-sharing spaces and resources via our Sustainability Academy.
