approximately 30 innovative
companies to enrich the
ecosystem. In 2021, the bank
expanded its participation in
Portal Solar, establishing itself
as one of the main financiers of
solar panels in Brazil.
BV Open plays an important
role in BV's revenue
diversification strategy by
working as a distribution
channel. At the end of
2021, 57 partners from
several segments, such as
education, energy, health, and
e-commerce, were connected
and using the services of the
platform. As it continued to
connect with the innovation
ecosystem, BV formed a
partnership, through BV Lab,
with SignumWeb, a start-up
that facilitates communication
with people with hearing
impairment through certified
sign language interpreters.
BV reinforced its commitment
to the ESG agenda through
the public document
"2030 Commitments for a
Lighter Future," which detailed
three objectives: (i) neutralize
environmental impact; (ii)
accelerate social inclusion;
and (iii) mobilize resources to
promote sustainable business.
BV's long-term targets are
based on these objectives,
which align with five of the
United Nations (UN) Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
BV announced the offsetting
of CO2 emissions of its entire
financed fleet-by 2021, more
than 750,000 financed vehicles
had joined the offset program.
BV financed and distributed a
total of R$6.2 billion to fund
sustainable initiatives in retail
and wholesale.
In the social arena, BV
developed the project Junto
ao Meu Financiamento Solar
(Together with my Solar
Financing), in partnership
with the nongovernmental
organization Gerando Falcões,
to supply solar energy to
more than 240 homes in a
community in São José do
Rio Preto in the interior of
the state of São Paulo. This
will be the first favela in Latin
America to have solar panels. In
addition, as part of its culture,
BV is committed to diversity
and inclusion. The company
sponsors programs such as
Lugar de Mãe é no BV (Mothers
Have a Place at BV), which
focuses on hiring new mothers
who are out of the job market.
BV also believes that sports
are an avenue for social
inclusion. Last year, the
company sponsored, for the
first time, the biggest skate
event in Latin America: Skate
Total Urbe. It also supported
10 athlete and former athlete
institutes that reached more
than 1,500 children and young
people through 2,000 in-
person or virtual classes in
2021.
BV also made progress in its
engagement with stakeholders:
it increased its level of
transparency by publicizing its
strategies, plans, and results
to the market and took an
important step in governance
by forming a Sustainability
Committee and including
incentives to align the entire
team with ESG principles. BV
stands out for being the first
bank to establish a framework
of ESG targets linked to the
variable compensation of its
senior management.
