Security Bank’s 2025 corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability activities focused on programs that support communities, strengthen livelihoods, and expand educational and environmental initiatives across the Philippines.
In livelihood and disaster response efforts, the Bank provided cacao seedlings to 40 farmers in Aklan, mentored 980 families in Cebu, and assisted 661 families affected by an earthquake and Typhoon Tino. It partnered with BUSOE and Angat Pinas to distribute poultry starter kits and rescue equipment to smallholder farmers and solo parents in Aklan.
In Sitio Pisapungan, Pampanga, the Bank collaborated with JCI Manila and the Global Peace Foundation to install solar-powered streetlights, promoting safety and sustainable energy. Through the Prevail program with International Care Ministries, it provided business mentorship and financial training to Cebu families. The Bank also supported the Meritxell Children’s World Foundation by funding yearlong vaccinations for 15 children.
Security Bank Foundation Inc. (SBFI) donated 901 classrooms to 153 schools under its Build a School, Build a Nation program, to ease overcrowding. SBFI also trained 79 principals and 88 teachers through its Mentoring Future Leaders for Nation-Building program and supported 302 scholars, bringing its total scholar count to over 2,000. Free eye screenings and eyeglasses were provided to 1,170 students in partnership with Ideal Vision Center and the Rotary and Rotaract Club of San Francisco del Monte.
Cultural initiatives included supporting the Bravo Empowered Women Awards and launching the inaugural Paint for the Planet Art Competition with the Art Association of the Philippines. More than 300 artists participated under the theme “People, Planet, Prosperity.” The Bank also engaged in cultural fairs and heritage events such as ArteFino and National Heritage Month, highlighting Filipino craftsmanship.
Environmental programs continued through Project MITHI, which planted 940 mangrove seedlings in La Union toward a first-year target of 10,000 seedlings, in partnership with Oceanus Conservation, Communities for Nature, and local organizations.
The Bank also advanced sustainable finance, disbursing ₱99.4 billion in green and social loans by October, exceeding its 2025 target by 18%. These investments provided clean water to 500,000 households, expanded healthcare with 544 beds, and created opportunities for 400,000 people, mostly women.
The Bank holds a leadership role globally as the first Philippine member of IFC’s Alliance for Green Commercial Banks and the only local bank with an MSCI ESG Rating of “A.”
This comprehensive approach reflects Security Bank’s efforts to integrate social, educational, cultural, and environmental initiatives into its 2025 operations.
