BBVA’s strategic commitment to sustainability
BBVA recently set a new sustainable business mobilization target of €700 billion from 2025 to 2029. This more than doubles the previous target of €300 billion for the 2018–2025 period, which was already achieved in December 2024, a year ahead of schedule. This new, more ambitious objective will also run for a shorter period (five years as opposed to eight).
BBVA has placed sustainability at the core of its business, promoting it as a driver of growth and making it one of its six strategic priorities. In this regard, Javier Rodríguez Soler, Global Head of Sustainability and CIB at BBVA, stated: “BBVA supports companies in advancing their decarbonization through financial solutions and expert advisory. We work alongside our clients at every stage of their transition towards more sustainable models.”
In the sustainable lending business, BBVA has been a pioneer and a key driver, making it one of the most active institutions globally and particularly in Spain. According to the ‘Global Sustainable Finance Loan – Participant Lender’ league table by LSEG Loan Connector, in the first half of 2025 the bank has participated in 66 green and sustainable transactions, leading a total of 22 syndicated loans as bookrunner for clients across various sectors, with notable deals in Spain, Germany, Italy, France, the United States, and Asia.
