Banco BCI has become the first Chilean private bank to join the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), an initiative created in 2021 and backed by the United Nations, which aims to mobilize the transition to a low carbon economy and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
BCI has assumed the commitment to neutralize its direct carbon footprint, and become a facilitator for its customers and suppliers on that path. Therefore, BCI commits to make the transition towards zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to its loan and investment portfolios by the year 2050. Additionally, the financial entity has committed to a 20% reduction in the intensity of its emissions in specific sectors by the year 2030.
