Corporate Governance and Management in Socio-environmental Responsibility
Banco do Brasil has a solid and consistent track record in sustainability. The topic is embedded in the Corporate Strategy, reflected in business and risk management.
The Social, Environmental, and Climate Responsibility Policy (PRSAC) guides the conduct of Banco do Brasil and the Entities within the national Prudential Conglomerate, based on the principles of relevance, proportionality, and efficiency. The principles and guidelines expressed in the Policy translates into concrete initiatives that shape the commitments and actions outlined in the Agenda 30 BB, resulting in the consideration of economic, social, environmental, and climate variables in the design and development of processes, products, and services.
To guide this approach, Banco do Brasil endorses and maintains alignment with national and international commitments aimed at sustainable development. In this context, it directs efforts to promote solutions that integrate business, people, and the environment, reconciling corporate competitiveness with building a fairer, greener, and more inclusive society.
Agenda 30 BB
For over two decades, Banco do Brasil has advanced its sustainability agenda through a strategic vision and actionable plans that set ambitious, measurable goals. The Agenda 30 BB embodies the Bank’s commitment to generate positive impacts for both society and the environment.
This journey has consolidated the integration of short- and medium-term actions with a long-term outlook, fully aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.
The BB 2030 Commitments for a + Sustainable World, publicly assumed in 2021 and revised in 2023 and 2025, aim to support the transition to a greener, more inclusive, diverse, and low-carbon economy, strengthening the integration of sustainability into business strategy. These include 10 commitments with 19 long-term targets covering: sustainable finance; environmental, social, and climate governance; and positive impacts across the value chain.

It is a broad, in-depth, and participatory process, guided by the assessment of sustainability risks, opportunities, and trends, aligning the Bank’s management of the topic with accountability to society and investors.

Equator Principles
As a signatory of the Equator Principles (EP), BB adopts the standards of International Finance Corporation (IFC) on risk analysis to ensure that financings will contribute to social development and that the best environmental management practices will be complied with in the implementation of the projects. For projects covered by the EP, we require socio-environmental compliance evaluations, conducted by an independent consulting firm, in case a risk in an analysis conducted by our responsible area is indicated.
BB uses socio-environmental criteria in risk analysis, credit limit and investment projects, and conditions financing to compliance with environmental legislation, applicable to each sector that it finances, requiring legal documentation.
