About CaixaBank
CaixaBank was founded in 1980, and is a leading Spanish retail bank. The bank operates through three segments: banking and insurance, real estate activity, and investments. With the mergers and takeovers of Banca Cívica and Banco de Valencia, and the retail banking, wealth management and corporate banking businesses of Barclays in Spain, CaixaBank has extended its share of the Spanish financial market. CaixaBank signed the Equator Principles in March 2007.
In 2021 Bankia merged with CaixaBank to create a new entity but preservering the name of the latter.

Tracking the Equator Principles
EPFIs reporting status
Project name reporting status of Equator Principles signatories for each financial institutions' most recent reporting period. Where there is no percentage presented the EPFI has not reported having financed any project transactions in that reporting period.
Banks and Climate
Bank net zero commitments
This table tracks the net zero pledges and commitments of banks. It shows whether banks have committed to net zero by 2050 and have set an interim emissions reduction goal for 2025 and/or 2030. It also notes banks that have not yet set targets but have pledged to do so in the future, including by joining the Collective Commitment to Climate Action or Net Zero Banking Alliance. Finally, it notes whether banks have (pledged to) set Science-Based Targets. More information and references can be found by expanding the 'details' section of each bank.
- A blue check mark means the bank has set a target or joined the alliance. A check mark does not mean that the target set by the bank meets any particular standard, just that is has set a target. In case we have identified short comings in the target, for example when it only applies to lending and not underwriting), this is noted in the 'details' section.
- An orange dash means a bank has pledged to set a target (for example, banks commit to set 2030 and 2050 targets when they join the NZBA), but have not yet actually done so.
Abbreviations:
CCCA = Collective Commitment to Climate Action
NZBA = Net Zero Banking Alliance
SBT = Science-Based Targets
