Mobilising Capital for a Resilient Future: Financing Nature and Sustainable Development

The transition towards a more sustainable and resilient economy requires more than ambition. It requires capital, reliable information and collaboration across financial markets, businesses and public institutions. At Grupo BMV (Mexican Stock Exchange), we are committed to mobilising capital towards projects that support climate resilience, the preservation of natural capital and biodiversity conservation.

Sustainable Finance Leadership

We recognise the critical role capital markets play in channelling investment towards sustainable development. Since 2016, BMV has facilitated more than MXN 500 billion in sustainable financing. Green bonds account for 16% of this total, supporting corporate initiatives that protect natural capital, promote the efficient use of resources and contribute to ecosystem conservation.

Financing Nature and Sustainable Development

Sustainable finance listed on BMV has supported a wide range of projects, including renewable energy generation, sustainable transport infrastructure, telecommunications network modernisation, green buildings, water management, sustainable agriculture and resilient infrastructure.

These investments demonstrate how capital markets can contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. They also highlight a broader opportunity: expanding sustainable finance beyond emissions reduction to recognise the value of nature itself.

Biodiversity, healthy ecosystems and natural resources are essential to economic resilience and to the long-term sustainability of industries, supply chains and communities.

In October 2026, Mexico’s sustainable finance market reached a significant milestone with the listing of the country’s first biodiversity bond (fifth globally) by FIRA on BMV, through a landmark issuance totalling MXN 1.7 billion. The transaction aims to mobilise resources for biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration and other nature-positive objectives.

This transaction broadens the range of environmental priorities addressed through capital markets and connects investors with initiatives that recognise nature as a fundamental component of long-term prosperity.

A Collective Effort: Climate Information Disclosure

Mobilising capital effectively also depends on the quality of the information available to investors.

This year marked an important development for Mexico’s capital market: for the first time, listed issuers published standalone sustainability reports aligned with IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.

Comparable, decision-useful information on sustainability- and climate-related risks and opportunities allows investors to allocate capital more efficiently, helps issuers access sustainable financing and strengthens trust in the market as a whole.

For BMV, financing instruments and sustainability disclosure go hand in hand: financing channels resources towards sustainable projects and activities, while disclosure provides investors with the information needed to assess their risks and opportunities. Building a more resilient economy is a shared responsibility of issuers, investors, financial institutions, regulators and market infrastructure providers.

Capital markets can help translate this collective effort into action by connecting financing needs with investment and encouraging transparency. From green bonds to emerging biodiversity-focused instruments, Mexico’s experience demonstrates the potential to expand the reach and impact of sustainable finance.

Transparent, comparable information is the foundation needed to mobilise the capital that a resilient future demands. By bringing together capital, credible information and a long-term perspective, Mexico’s capital markets can help finance not only the transition to a low-carbon economy but also the preservation of the natural systems on which our shared prosperity depends.
