Green Investments are an operational development scheme that exploits transformations in practices and activities that reduce pollution and safeguard the environment, provided that these behaviors give rise to profitability.

In Colombia, there is a progressive shift toward green investments and sustainable businesses, supported by incentives such as VAT exemptions, income tax credits, and deductions of up to 50 % of the value of investments in Non-Conventional Energy Sources.

There are several types of financing for green investments. Within these investment vehicles we find:

  • Green Banks.
  • Green bonds.
  • Carbon market instruments.
  • Innovative financial technologies (FINTECH).
  • Green loans.
  • Guarantees for Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
  • Asset tokenization.

If you are interested in deepening the information on green investments, the specific benefits that Bogotá-Region has for this type of investment, the green taxonomy and the environmental objectives that are intended to be achieved through the green economy and investment, we invite you to download and consult the full chapter.
