New sustainable business target

On October 12, BBVA announced its new sustainable business target for 2025, which it has increased to €300 billion. This figure places BBVA as one of the most ambitious European banks in terms of its sustainable business target and is an example of the bank’s commitment to sustainability, one of its strategic priorities. This new target represents a 50% increase on the goal announced in July 2021, when BBVA updated its sustainable finance roadmap. It also triples the initial ambition announced in February 2018.
