Security Bank Exceeds 2025 Sustainable Finance Target, Disbursing PHP99.4 Billion Ahead of Schedule

Makati, Philippines -- Security Bank Corporation (PSE:SECB) has surpassed its 2025 Sustainable Finance target ahead of schedule, disbursing PHP99.4 billion in sustainable finance loans as of October 2025—18% above its full-year goal. The milestone reinforces the Bank’s ambition to become the preferred partner in sustainable finance and signals strong demand for green and social financing in the Philippines.

Driving green growth at scale

Of the total disbursed, PHP69.9 billion supported green finance initiatives, accelerating the country’s shift to cleaner, more resilient infrastructure. Security Bank’s financing has helped enable:

• 1.37 GW of additional renewable energy capacity from solar and wind projects
• Four green-certified buildings contribute to reduced emissions and energy savings
• Rehabilitation of 8 kilometers of electric train rails in Metro Manila, improving mass transport safety and reliability

These investments position the Bank as an enabler of the Philippines’ transition to low-carbon development and energy security. 

Expanding social impact nationwide

On the social development front, Security Bank disbursed PHP29.5 billion to projects that expand access to essential services, promote inclusive growth, and generate employment. These projects delivered:

• Access to clean water for about 500,000 households
• 1.5M TEU capacity enhancements to strengthen the supply chain and community access to vital goods
• 544 hospital beds and clinic rooms
• Job and socio-economic opportunities for over 400,000 individuals, with a majority benefiting women
• These outcomes underscore the Bank’s commitment to supporting both economic and social resilience.

Accelerating sustainable finance impact

Security Bank continues to deepen its sustainable finance expertise and broaden its market leadership through capability building, strategic partnerships, and industry engagement.

Strengthening internal capabilities

The Bank invested heavily in upskilling teams through learning sessions with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Department of Energy (DoE), and Board of Investments (BoI)— equipping Relationship Managers and frontliners with tools to identify, structure, and evaluate green and social finance opportunities.

Programs included:

• Training on the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act
• A two-day IFC-led program on identifying and financing green projects
• Immersive site visits to a solar farm and a green-certified commercial building

These initiatives enhance team readiness and ensure the Bank can originate high-quality, sustainable finance deals.

Expanding market presence and thought leadership

Security Bank amplified its role in renewable energy and climate finance by:

• Becoming the only financial institution participating in Solar & Storage Live Philippines
• Sharing insights at the Philippine Conference on Energy Efficiency and Conservation, where EVP John Cary Ong presented the Bank’s strategy for greening value chains
• Engaging with clean energy developers, technology providers, and government partners to unlock scalable investments

These engagements reinforce the Bank’s position as a credible partner in the energy transition.

Security Bank participated in the Solar and Storage Live event at SMX Convention Center on May 20, 2025. As the only financial institution at the event, the Bank showcased its sustainable finance initiatives and products.

Enhancing client & employee access to tools and knowledge

To further support clients and internal teams, the Bank launched:

• A Sustainable Finance webpage — a public platform to educate businesses on green financing options and generate leads
• An Assets Business Division (ABD) Knowledge Hub — a centralized internal resource housing product information, market insights, and materials to empower faster, informed decision-making

Both platforms strengthen the Bank’s ecosystem for sustainable finance and improve client engagement and internal productivity.

Looking ahead

Security Bank’s significant progress toward its sustainable finance goals demonstrates continued momentum in delivering positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes. By expanding capabilities, deepening partnerships, and investing in knowledge platforms, the Bank is well-positioned to help accelerate the country’s green and inclusive transition.

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.
