Sicredi's green economy portfolio totals R$7.5 billion and boosts regional development

With continued growth, Sicredi expands financing aimed at sustainable production, female entrepreneurship and renewable energy. Sicredi Sicredi reached the mark of R$98.2 billion in credit portfolio balance classified as a green economy in 2025, growth of 10.3% compared to the previous year. In the area of ??activity that comprises the states of Pará, Rondônia, Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Roraima, Mato Grosso and some cities in Goiás, the balance reached R$7.5 billion at the end of 2025 and has continued to grow in recent years. The data is in the 2025 Sustainability Report and consolidates the advances made by the cooperative financial institution in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) pillars, which benefit members and the community as a whole. Among the main highlights of the portfolio in the region comprising Mato Grosso and the northern states, R$2.2 billion was allocated to family rural production and R$1.4 billion to women entrepreneurs. Another R$1 billion supported low-carbon agriculture initiatives and more than R$1 billion was directed to women working in agribusiness. The regional portfolio also includes R$841 million in renewable energy and environmental sustainability lines, R$14.5 million in microcredit for companies and R$1 billion allocated to other socio-environmental initiatives. These numbers show that we are on the right track. Sicredi is present in regions where other financial institutions are not present or even no longer present. We believe that we can contribute to regional development, whether in the countryside or in the city. We serve rural producers, from family to large; companies, from MEI to large ones; and individuals from different income brackets. Because Sicredi is for everyone and helping development along the path to sustainability is our mission. Financing within the concept of green economy encompasses credit operations classified based on the updated Febraban taxonomy. The methodology considers sectoral criteria and programs with environmental and social benefits, aligned with recognized international references. At Sicredi, this portfolio is structured into three main fronts: Regional Development and Social Inclusion, Sustainable Agribusiness and Energy and Climate Transition, reflecting an integrated growth strategy with generation of positive impact. In addition to the credit portfolio, the commitment to sustainability is demonstrated in Sicredi's institutional performance, as it has been a signatory to the UN Global Compact since 2020 and guides its strategy through three drivers: Relationships and Cooperativism, Local Development and Responsible Solutions, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through the Eco-efficiency and Climate Change Program, the institution aims to continually improve the management of greenhouse gas emissions and promote their reduction. Last year, Sicredi neutralized 27 thousand tons of carbon related to greenhouse gas emissions from its agencies and administrative headquarters across the country, calculated in the 2024 Greenhouse Gas Inventory and projected for the year 2025. Sicredi's 2025 Sustainability Report is available at www.sicredi.com.br/sustainability. Its preparation follows internationally recognized references, such as the GRI Standards, the main global parameter for sustainability reporting; the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), focused on specific indicators for the financial sector; and the recommendations of the Task Force for Climaterelated Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for the disclosure of financial information related to climate change.
