Banco Promerica RD strengthens its commitment to sustainable leadership by signing the UN Responsible Banking principles
Santo Domingo. 2025 – Banco Promerica Dominican Republic becomes an official signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking, a global framework to drive a sustainable banking industry, developed in collaboration with banks around the world and the United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI).
This commitment reflects Banco Promerica Dominican Republic’s determination to align its business strategy with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change, integrating sustainability as the central axis of its operations. By adhering to the Principles, the bank reaffirms its vision of leading in sustainable finance, promoting responsible practices that generate long-term value for its clients, strategic partners, shareholders and society.
Carlos Julio Camilo, executive president of Banco Promerica Dominican Republic, indicated that, by joining the global community of responsible banks, the entity strengthens its leadership in sustainability, working with like-minded institutions to share good practices, develop innovative tools and accelerate positive change. “We firmly believe that leading with responsibility and sustainability turns our actions into an engine of tangible impact, promoting the construction of a more just, resilient and truly sustainable future. This conviction guides every decision we make, consolidating our commitment to equitable development that benefits both current and future generations,” Camilo highlighted.
As part of its sustainability strategy and after adopting the Principles, Banco Promerica Dominican Republic will identify and measure the environmental and social impact of its activities, establish concrete goals in the areas of greatest influence and publicly report its progress periodically. This approach will allow you to anticipate risks, seize opportunities and actively contribute to the transition towards more sustainable economies.
This step represents a significant milestone at a strategic moment to confront global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and social inequalities.
Ramiro Ortiz Gurdián, executive director of Grupo Promerica, reaffirmed this commitment with his words: “We believe that change consists of assuming the responsibility of transforming our environment, and we are determined to be the engine that drives sustainability in regional banking. Working together, we will ensure that each action of Grupo Promerica contributes to a better future for the new generations,” Signing the Principles of Responsible Banking is not just a symbolic act, it is a commitment and for Gurpo Promerica: It is a deep expression of who we are. It is in our DNA, in the way we conceive progress, in how we outline our strategy and in every decision we make. This commitment drives us to build a more just, sustainable and inclusive future, accompanying with conviction the communities in all the countries where we are present.
By becoming a signatory, Banco Promerica Dominican Republic becomes the seventh Promerica Group bank to adopt the UN Principles for Responsible Banking, thus reaffirming our commitment to generating a positive impact on society and the environment. At the same time, as a group, we have four banks that have signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), strengthening our inclusion and gender equity strategy. Likewise, and in coherence with our vision of sustainability, on a consolidated basis we have placed more than USD 700 million in sustainable bond issues, channeling resources towards initiatives that promote economic, social and environmental development in the region.
