ESG analysts and ratings

CaixaBank's long-term sustainable management model places us among the financial institutions with the best Environmental, Social and Good Governance (ESG) ratings, as recognised by the main rating agencies and sustainability analysts.

In financial markets ESG ratings are the most widely accepted way to obtain information on the sustainability performance of companies and to facilitate responsible investment decisions. They reflect the actions of companies in the areas of sustainability and responsible management, exposure to non-financial risks and their ability to manage them, the development of the business and its positive impact in social and environmental terms, and questions of corporate governance.

In line with our goal of being a European leader in sustainability, in 2026, our bank has been recognised by the main ESG analysts in the market, achieving ratings above the sector average.

Of particular note is our inclusion, for the fourteenth consecutive year, in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World and Europe indexes, which reinforces our position among the highest-rated banks in terms of sustainability according to the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).

In 2025, CDP, a leading international organisation in environmental disclosure, recognised CaixaBank's leadership for its action against climate change and, for the fifth consecutive year, positioned CaixaBank on the A List 2025 in the Leadership category, for achieving the highest score in the Climate Change questionnaire. 

We have also obtained the highest ESG rating from MSCI: AAA, as well as being classified in the Leader category for its sound sustainability management. Sustainalytics has awarded the bank an ESG Risk Rating of 9.5 (Negligible Risk) for its management of ESG risks, which the organisation considers "strong".

We are the only Spanish bank to voluntarily undergo Sustainable Fitch's ESG assessment in its "solicited" category, demonstrating our commitment to transparency and reporting. Sustainable Fitch has awarded us an ESG Entity Rating of 2 in its third assessment, carried out in September 2025, one of the highest ratings in financial sector worldwide.
