It also highlights that part of the loan has been directed to support the adoption of new saving technologies in the processes of its clients.

Through this program, it also incorporates “green list measures” as eligibility criteria for granting lines of credit. These are aimed at identifying specific actions for each activity which are applicable to different agro-industrial sectors.
“By including the Green List measures, we can enhance our role in promoting sustainable practices and diversify our impact. This approach will allow us to finance a broader range of activities, including primary production, and accurately report their impact,” said José Eduardo Luna, Executive Director of Banco Cuscatlán.
Business relations between Banco Cuscatlán and Eco.business Fund began in 2019 with the granting of the first loan for $5 million, funds that allowed the bank to grant loans to businesses certified as friendly to the environment within the agro-industrial sector.
