The partnership between CaixaBank and Green & Human represents a decisive step toward a model of responsible development and sustainable finance. This strategic agreement aims to integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ESG criteria, supported by Green & Human’s experience as an active member of the Biosphere community, positioning both entities as benchmarks in the transition toward a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient economic model.
In a move that marks a turning point in the integration of sustainability into the financial sector, CaixaBank has announced its membership in Green & Human, a collaborative association that is a member of the Biosphere community and recognized with the Biosphere Certified distinction.
This alliance not only reinforces CaixaBank’s commitment to a sustainable and inclusive economic model, but also positions the institution as the only bank member of Green & Human, taking sustainability beyond the tourism sector and demonstrating that any business model can integrate responsible and verifiable practices.
CaixaBank’s membership in Green & Human is part of its 2025-2027 Sustainability Plan, which aims to mobilize €100 billion in sustainable financing for projects that drive the transition toward a green, fair, and digital economy.
Through this agreement, the bank will contribute to the development of transformative projects that integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) criteria, promoting economic development, innovation, and social inclusion in tourism destinations and local communities.
Green & Human is a nonprofit consortium that brings together public and private companies from across the tourism value chain to promote a culture of sustainability, digital transformation, energy transition, and social and professional development.
Its commitment has been endorsed by the Biosphere Certified distinction, which guarantees that sustainable practices have been properly implemented and that commitments made are fulfilled in a measurable and verifiable way.
Key initiatives include:
CaixaBank’s membership in Green & Human sends a clear message: sustainability is not exclusive to tourism. Any sector, including banking, can and should integrate management tools such as the Biosphere methodology to measure, improve, and certify its sustainable commitment.
This historic step can inspire other financial institutions and large corporations to follow the same path, proving that ESG criteria and the SDGs are the essential roadmap to ensuring long-term business competitiveness and resilience.
At Biosphere, we celebrate this alliance as an example of sustainable leadership.
We at Biosphere are deeply proud that Green & Human is part of our community and that CaixaBank has decided to join its mission. These types of strategic alliances are what drive real change, aligning economic impact with social and environmental benefit.
