Sustainable Finance 

BDO’s sustainable finance initiatives began in 2010, with the establishment of the Sustainable Energy Finance (SEF) Program and the Social and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) policy, both created in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

The SEMS evolved into what is now the BDO Sustainable Finance Framework that covers social and environmental impact assessment and risk assessment, aligned with the Bank’s Sustainability Philosophy and Strategies, as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
