Members of Security Bank’s Corporate Banking, Commercial Banking, and Enterprise Risk teams visited ACEN Alaminos to deepen their understanding of renewable energy and solar operations as part of a two-day capacity-building program in March 2025.
Security Bank Corporation has surged past its 2025 Sustainable Finance target months ahead of schedule, disbursing P99.4 billion in sustainable loans as of October—an achievement that places the Bank 18 percent above its full-year goal and cements its position as one of the country’s most active drivers of green and social financing.
The milestone highlights not only the rising demand for sustainability-linked investments in the Philippines but also Security Bank’s ambition to become the country’s partner of choice in responsible, high-impact finance.
A significant portion of the disbursements—P69.9 billion—powered initiatives that push the Philippines closer to a low-carbon and climate-resilient future. Security Bank enabled an additional 1.37 GW of renewable energy capacity through major solar and wind projects, supported the completion of green-certified buildings designed for reduced emissions and superior energy performance, and helped rehabilitate eight kilometers of electric train rails in Metro Manila, a critical effort toward safer and more reliable mass transportation.
By financing these projects at scale, the Bank continues to advance national goals in clean energy, infrastructure modernization, and long-term energy security.
Another P29.5 billion was allocated to social development programs aimed at widening access to essential services and stimulating inclusive growth across the country.
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.
Projects supported through the Bank’s sustainable financing portfolio provided clean and reliable water to about half a million households, expanded logistics capacity by 1.5 million TEUs to strengthen supply chains and access to vital goods, added 544 hospital beds and clinic rooms for improved healthcare delivery, and created socio-economic opportunities for more than 400,000 Filipinos, many of whom are women.
These results reflect the Bank’s broader thrust to promote resilience, uplift communities, and generate shared prosperity.
To sustain its momentum, Security Bank continues investing heavily in internal capability-building and industry knowledge. Teams underwent extensive training with global and national partners including the International Finance Corporation, the Department of Energy, and the Board of Investments.
Relationship Managers and frontliners participated in programs on the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, an intensive two-day IFC program on identifying and structuring green projects, and immersive site visits to a solar farm and a certified green building. These learning experiences strengthen the Bank’s ability to evaluate, originate, and execute high-quality sustainable finance deals.
Beyond internal development, Security Bank expanded its visibility and influence across the renewable energy and climate finance ecosystem.
It was the only financial institution to participate in Solar & Storage Live Philippines, contributed key insights during the Philippine Conference on Energy Efficiency and Conservation—where Executive Vice President John Cary Ong outlined the Bank’s approach to greening value chains—and engaged developers, technology firms, and government partners to unlock large-scale opportunities.
These ongoing efforts reinforce Security Bank’s commitment to accelerating the country’s energy transition and shaping the future of sustainable finance in the Philippines.
