Security Bank Corp. said Wednesday it had disbursed P99.4 billion in sustainable finance loans as of October 2025, exceeding its full-year 2025 target by 18 percent.
The early achievement highlights strong market demand for green and social financing in the Philippines and aligns with the bank’s goal of becoming a preferred partner in the sector, the bank said in a statement.
Security Bank reported that P69.9 billion of the total amount supported green finance initiatives. These investments included funding 1.37 gigawatts of additional renewable energy capacity from solar and wind projects, four green-certified buildings and the rehabilitation of 8 eight kilometers of electric train rails in Metro Manila.
Security Bank said these efforts support the Philippines’ transition to low-carbon development and bolster energy security.
The bank said it also disbursed P29.5 billion for social development projects focused on improving access to essential services and promoting inclusive growth. These projects provided clean water to about 500,000 households, increased port capacity by 1.5 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEUs), added 544 hospital beds and clinic rooms and generated socio-economic opportunities for more than 400,000 individuals, many of whom are women.
To strengthen its capabilities, Security Bank invested heavily in upskilling teams through learning sessions with the International Finance Corp. (IFC), Department of Energy (DoE) and Bureau of Investments (BoI). The bank also launched a sustainable finance webpage for clients and an assets business division knowledge hub to centralize internal resources and support faster decision-making.
“The early achievement of its 2025 target reflects not only strong market demand but also the Bank’s commitment to long-term value creation for clients, communities and investors,” the bank said, adding it is “well-positioned to help accelerate the country’s green and inclusive transition” by expanding capabilities, deepening partnerships and investing in knowledge platforms.
