Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

1. Introduction

The content of this report corresponds to an extract from the management and sustainability report, which describes Grupo Aval's Sustainability strategy, addressing the material issues prioritized with a vision of double materiality and the most relevant elements of our environmental and social management during 2023. Likewise, we will communicate the main activities, initiatives, challenges, and achievements in social, environmental and governance matters that are executed through our entities and that we consider relevant for our shareholders and investors.

We incorporate SASB indicators corresponding to the Commercial Banks industry. This is due to the fact that the banking services segment represents 79.8% of assets at the consolidated level. However, we incorporate indicators from the Asset Management & Custody Activities industry, including Corficolombiana information.

2. Sustainability Strategy

The Holding Company's Sustainability strategy is aligned with global and local changes in the industry. Our strategy has matured in ESG management since 2019, evolving from stage 1 (basic) to stage 4 (integrative). This improvement is the result of the implementation of actions aimed at strengthening collaborative relationships with the environment, validations with stakeholders, compliance with regulations and aligning business strategy and financial planning with material topics, tending to the generation of economic, environmental, and social value.

Over the next few years, we will continue to work to strengthen the Group's strategy, responding to the needs of the environment and our entities, through the continuous monitoring of the commitments made in order to reach the 5th stage of maturity (transformative).

2.1. Double Materiality at Grupo Aval

In 2023 we updated the materiality of the Holding, extending the scope of the exercise carried out in 2019, to the vision of double materiality. We did it following best practices in the sector, where we must consider not only the impact that the business can generate on the environment and society, but also the impact that the environment can generate on the business and financial materiality. The main inputs of the analysis were the relevant aspects expressed by the main stakeholders: entities, directors, collaborators, shareholders, investors, opinion leaders, government, and regulatory bodies. We collect this information through interviews, surveys, and workshops. We also consider the ESG actions of the entities, best practices adopted by companies in the sector at a national and international level, reference frameworks, regulators, and the challenges of the sector.

Based on this understanding, the following 10 material topics were defined in the Environmental, Social and Governance dimensions, which are managed, in part, through our entities.

	We are committed to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the universal principles of the United Nations Global Compact. We continue to adhere to the Compact and develop actions that have had a positive impact on the different stakeholders, communicating the challenges and importance of the 2030 Agenda on the financial sector.
	We participated for the fifth consecutive year in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and obtained a rating of 49 points, a growth of 6 points compared to 2022. This evaluation has allowed us to understand the opportunities for improvement and design action plans aimed at closing gaps.
	During 2023 we maintained the BB rating. In the Social dimension, we stand out for our actions in terms of: i) financial protection and customer privacy, ii) data security, and iii) social and ethical risk management. In terms of the Governance pillar, we stand out for our business ethics and anti-corruption policies.

2.4. Stakeholder Management

Due to the turn of the business and in line with the review of material topics, in 2023 we carried out the redefinition of stakeholders, considering both those that generate direct action on the business and those that the business can impact. In this analysis we went from having 8 stakeholders to 7 that represent a fundamental role for the correct development of the business, as well as key actors for Grupo Aval such as: the Board of Directors, Government and regulatory bodies and opinion leaders.

For the Group, having a two-way and close relationship with our stakeholders allows us to understand their needs and expectations, and to work as a group to generate a positive social transformation in the country.

The evaluation yielded the following seven stakeholders:

3. ESG Risk Management

3.1. Environmental and Social Risk Management System – ESRMS

FN-CB-410a.2

Since 2020, Banco de Bogotá, which is our main financial institution, has been able to identify environmental and social risks of customers who go through the process of granting Commercial Credit, through the Environmental and Social Risk Management System –ESRMS for customers with a debt limit greater than or equal to $21 billion pesos. Through a form, they collect information related to the environmental and labor situation of their clients and manage to categorize clients into three levels of environmental and social risk, which helps them issue control and monitoring recommendations, aimed at mitigating possible environmental and social risks that may arise in their commercial portfolio. During 2023, the Bank carried out 402 customer analyses, within the ESRMS methodology, with an increase of approximately 11% compared to the previous year, categorizing each customer into one of the three levels of risk defined (high, medium, and low), distributed in 18.5% in high risk, 76.5% in medium risk and 5% in low risk. The total assessed amount at the end of December 2023 is $31 trillion pesos.

During 2023, Banco de Bogotá made improvements to the ESRMS process, by making adjustments to the Environmental and Social Risk Identification Form in order to obtain information on customers' capacity to mitigate climate change risk and strengthen its analysis, along with the use of public platforms and tools that help evaluate the strategies or actions that are in the design or implementation stage by the clients, to mitigate possible impacts and identify in the client's analysis the level of dependence on ecosystem services and the impacts associated with the economic sector to which the clients belong.

As part of the commitment to manage the environmental and social risks related to the lending activity of our banks, during 2023 Grupo Aval continued to support Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular and Banco AV Villas in the implementation initiative of the Environmental and Social Risk Management System –ESRMS, through monthly meetings aimed at resolving particularities that arose in the diagnostic phases, design, testing and implementation of ESRMS. These three banks had the support of an expert consultant in the implementation of this work. It is expected that in 2024 the full implementation of ESRMS will be achieved, to manage the environmental and social risks of the loan portfolio in our banks, minimizing the probability of occurrence of these risks and directing financial flows towards economic activities that adequately manage the impact on society and the environment.

3.2. Climate Change Risk

FN-CB-410a.2

The risks linked to climate change have implications that have an impact on the financial sector. It is a cross-cutting risk that affects financial institutions through traditional risks, for this reason our banks have been working, or have a goal for 2024, to develop a process of mapping and identifying climate change risks (physical and transitional), assessing the need to strengthen their prevention mechanisms, containment, mitigation, and resilience. It is important to note that progress in this process varies in each of our banks, reflecting different levels of progress.

In 2023, Banco de Bogotá has presented progress in the methodology adopted to manage transition risk in the loan portfolio, through a "transition score", starting with the corporate and business segments, which represent 71% of the corporate portfolio. As of December 2023, the results of the analyses show that there are two levels of risk that need to be monitored. However, they are in the process of evaluating the information to understand the mitigation capacity of customers. Regarding

physical risks, in 2023 an approach to the possible effects of the El Niño phenomenon was incorporated, considering the forecast of the International Center for Research on the El Niño phenomenon and IDEAM, on the presence of this phenomenon for the second half of 2023. Defining a pilot plan carried out in 2023 and projected for 2024, in three milestones (historical analysis events, modeling scenarios and adaptation recommendations).

4. Cybersecurity

FN-CB-230a.1 – FN-CB-230a.2

Given the current technological landscape, cybersecurity emerges as a fundamental pillar, especially in the financial field, where global interconnection and the digitalization of financial services have reached unprecedented levels. In the Group, information has become one of the most precious assets, and the cyber threats that fall on this asset have multiplied exponentially, putting the integrity and confidentiality of financial data at risk. The growing adoption of disruptive technologies and the sophistication of cyberattacks demand a critical look at cybersecurity as an inescapable imperative.

In this context, during 2023 Grupo Aval and its entities have continued their process of continuous improvement of the security management model by updating and monitoring key strategies to safeguard stability and trust in the financial environment, where protection against digital threats has become a permanent challenge.

Thus, the group has been strengthening its capabilities for identifying, protecting, detecting, responding, and recovering from cybersecurity attacks, maintaining internationally recognized cybersecurity models such as the NIST Security Framework, Center for Internet Security (CIS) control framework and ISO 27000 standards as a management model, methodologies on which we develop security risk management models.

To ensure compliance with these standards, for several years we have been carrying out constant measurements using a verification by one of the most recognized auditing firms in the market, showing a constant evolution in the indicators that currently place us with an average degree of maturity among our entities of 4.2 (managed) in the Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Likewise, a methodology was defined at the corporate level to measure different security indicators to know the security posture, which allowed us to identify a significant evolution among the entities, going from a posture of 84.1% to 86.9%.

In a complementary way and as part of the growth strategies of medium-sized entities and the real sector, the support service for entities has been strengthened, within which in 2023 accompaniment activities were developed such as execution of social engineering tests, execution of tests on critical platform, accompaniment in cyber – security exercises, execution of Red Team type tests, accompaniment in internal security committees as well as the follow-up of the work plans derived from the previous activities.

Another focus is the definition of security baselines for all the Group's Entities, the objective of which is to standardize and expand technical security controls and optimize costs in their deployment through the definition and management of corporate agreements with suppliers, highlighting a level of 93% adoption in entities, for which the following activities were carried out:

· Structuring of category commissions with the participation of entities to acquire security technologies such as Security Service Edge, automatic information labeling, Network Traffic Analyzer, Detection and Response and identity services for the Open Banking initiative.

· Selection and negotiation of technologies for the technological update of security event correlation services, highlighting that this update will provide new functionalities and capabilities for the performance of cybersecurity monitoring by the Corporate SOC using artificial intelligence techniques.

11 

Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

· Permanent monitoring of the adoption and/or updating of protection technologies selected during previous periods such as Endpoint Detection and Response – EDR, User and Entity Behavior Analytics – UEBA, Cloud Security Posture Management – CSPM, Security Orchestration Automation and Response – XSOAR, Cloud Access Security Broker – CASB, Intrusion Prevention System – IPS and Network Access Control – NAC, among others.

· Update and extension of the validity of agreements necessary for the management of DKIM/DMARC services for email control, File Integrity Monitoring for file configuration verification, penetration testing services, cyber intelligence services, early warning identification services, virtual patching, and anti-phishing services.

In addition, progress was made in strengthening the Group's response capabilities through the evolution of the Corporate Incident Response Center (CSIRT Coordinador Aval) in which numerous communications were generated and investigations were carried out on emerging risks and digital threats, vulnerabilities that could affect the Entities were reported and constant monitoring was carried out for correction. The Indicators of Compromise (IoC) identified worldwide to prevent attacks on our infrastructure were reported, training was carried out aimed at the response to security incidents, including the participation and/or leadership of individual attack drills in each Entity, simultaneous at the corporate and sectoral level together with the Asociación Bancaria and the other banks in Colombia.

At the corporate level, the incidents presented in the entities were monitored, highlighting that for 2023 there were no high-impact incidents that would have generated significant materiality at the Grupo Aval level.

In 2023, in Grupo Aval and its entities, although there were small non-material incidents, there were no data breaches that resulted in a deviation from the expected results in terms of confidentiality and integrity. In the event of a material incident, Grupo Aval will disclose the event information in accordance with current regulations.

It is the primary function of corporate security teams to promote the proper management of the security model in business projects and initiatives and thus ensure their proper alignment with the security model, which is why during 2023 we focused our efforts on key projects and initiatives such as:

· dale! 2.0 technology platform update.

· Security definitions for Open Banking.

· Securing Cel to Cel transfers.

· Definition of security guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence.

· Definition of safety guidelines for scraping containment.

· Implementation of security strategies for corporate, personal banking and card-not-present purchases.

· Definition of security guidelines for the DataLake.

· Implementation of Facial Biometrics technologies in critical business transactions.

· Defining security controls in CRM solution migration.

· Implementation of controls for treasury management systems.

· Definition of security guidelines for the management of backup and virtualization platforms.

By 2024, our goal is to continue strengthening the security levels of our entities, for which we will focus on 6 corporate strategies:

· Taking advantage of synergies between the entities, increasing the centralization of some operations in a shared corporate center.

12 

Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

· Concentration of efforts in the smaller companies of the group, extending the capabilities of the parent companies and taking advantage of corporate synergies.

· Strengthen the architectures defined for the management of services by third parties, as well as the processes for monitoring and compliance with the security policies defined for the providers.

· Expand the implementation of security in all technological elements by applying the defense-in-depth methodology, monitoring vulnerability management more deeply, and monitoring the updating of technological obsolescence.

· Increase the Group's capabilities by using artificial intelligence tools that are capable of automatically identifying threats and acting in an automated manner to threats.

· Increase recovery capabilities in the event of cybersecurity incidents, strengthening the entities' datacenters and backup systems that allow them to recover quickly from any event.

5. Environment

As a result of the double materiality analysis, it was found that Climate change management and mitigation is one of the main issues to be managed. In this regard, in 2019 we carried out the first carbon footprint measurement for Grupo Aval Holding (scopes 1, 2 and 3) under the GHG Protocol methodology, identifying the direct and indirect environmental impact of our operations on the generation of GHGs. We have carried out this exercise annually to improve the quality of the information, including in 2023 the measurement of scopes 1 and 2 of the entities. We also consolidate their energy and water consumption, to establish a baseline to determine the goals to be achieved as a group.

We have proposed our roadmap following the TCFD recommendations, in governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and objectives, as a mechanism for managing the risks and opportunities associated with climate change. This exercise has been carried out in parallel by our entities, which, due to their nature of the business, are the ones that generate a direct impact on the environment with their credit portfolios, and which are responsible for measuring and managing physical and transition risks.

We monitor different environmental aspects such as energy and water consumption, and waste generation. This has made it possible to develop actions in favor of the conscious use of these resources and their correct management.

We will continue to implement actions so that our employees generate responsible consumption habits, and during 2024, we will improve the measurement of our carbon footprint as a Holding Company and of the entities in the 3 scopes, promoting the reduction, mitigation, and compensation of emissions. We will also continue to implement the TCFD recommendations.

5.1. Energy Management

At Grupo Aval we promote the efficient use of energy, which is why we have implemented energy-saving LED lighting systems, with presence sensors in infrequent spaces, and we have programmed computers with sleep timers. In 2023, our consumption increased 7.7% compared to the previous year, due to the increase in person hours of employees in the offices.

Energy consumption (kW) - Grupo Aval Holding
2021	2022	2023	2023 vs 2022
133,306	160,733	173,039	7.7%

Our entities have some offices nationwide that use renewable energy, for example, through solar panels, in the case of Banco de Bogotá and Banco Popular. The total energy consumption of the entities in 2023 was 402,055,193 kW:

Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

Energy consumption (kW) - Entities
Entity	2021	2022	2023	2023 vs 2022
Banco de Bogotá	27,408,770.00	25,928,160.00	23,316,000.00	-10.1%
Banco de Occidente	13,859,640.00	12,424,640.00	11,531,510.00	-7.2%
Banco Popular	14,748,000.00	13,880,000.00	12,884,000.00	-7.2%
Banco AV Villas	10,830,201.00	11,560,148.00	11,200,863.00	-3.1%
Corficolombiana	348,798,420.00	310,780,400.00	340,038,300.00	9.4%
Porvenir	3,067,202.00	3,257,772.00	3,084,520.00	-5.3%
Total	418,712,233.00	377,831,120.00	402,055,193.00	6.4%

The Group's four banks and Porvenir reduced their energy consumption, while Corficolombiana increased due to the increase in restaurant consumption as part of its investment in the hotel sector. Corficolombiana is the entity with the highest contribution due to the fact that it includes in this indicator the consumption derived from its investments that belong to sectors of high consumption for the development of its activities, such as energy, infrastructure and agribusiness, among others. As a result, we recorded a consolidated increase of 6.4% compared to 2022.

At the Holding we do not use non-renewable energies for the development of our activities. In the case of our entities and given that they provide in person services to their customers, they sometimes make use of non-renewable energies as a support mechanism in the event of interruptions in the electricity service. Some of these sources are gasoline, diesel or ACPM plants, Anhydrous Bioethanol and Palm Biodiesel.

5.2. Management of GHG emissions (Greenhouse Gases)

In 2023, for the fifth consecutive year, the carbon footprint was measured for 100% of the activities carried out at Grupo Aval Holding, which correspond to administrative functions in Bogotá. The measurement was carried out for scopes 1, 2 and 3, under the "Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard – GHG PROTOCOL". For each of the scopes, the following emission sources were identified:

Scope 1. Emissions generated by air conditioning systems (HFC-410a / R-410A) and refrigerators (R-134A). For 2023, emissions generated by CO₂ fire extinguishers were included.

Scope 2. Emissions generated by energy consumption, air conditioners, computer equipment and lighting systems.

Scope 3. Emissions generated by paper and water consumption, land and air travel of employees.

Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

Scope	Sources	Carbon footprint (tCO2eq/year)					23 vs 22	23 vs 19
		2019	2020	2021	2022	2023
1	Air conditioning systems, refrigerators, and fire extinguishers.	2.84	6.06	2.84	2.80	0.04	-98.6%	-98.6%
2	Energy consumption.	27.67	25.73	16.80	18.10	19.38	7.1%	-30.0%
3	Consumption of paper, water, and transport of employees.	25.29	7.15	5.00	6.70	8.64	29.0%	-65.8%
TOTAL HCC		55.8	38.94	24.64	27.61	28.06	1.6%	-49.7%

This year, there was a 49.7% reduction in the carbon footprint compared to our base year (2019), maintaining a similar performance to that of 2022. This is due to the hybrid work model that continues at Grupo Aval Holding, the actions to reduce paper consumption in the offices and the reduction of transport for business activities.

In relation to the behavior of each of the scopes in 2023 compared to the immediately previous year, a reduction in scope 1 was evidenced, given that HCFC-123 extinguishers were replaced with CO₂ extinguishers and that no refills of the refrigeration systems were carried out. Scope 2 presented a slight increase due to the consumption of electrical energy for administrative activities in the offices and related to scope 3, the increase was due to the fact that more air travel was made to international destinations.

Consolidated carbon footprint of entities (scope 1 and 2)

Within the management and mitigation of climate change, it is essential to consider the GHG emissions that are being generated by our entities, which have been developing the measurement of the carbon footprint of their activities. To this end, in 2023 we carried out the first corporate carbon footprint consolidation exercise for scopes 1 and 2, where we included information on 4 of the Holding's 6 direct investments. Total emissions for scope 1 were 227,671.93 tCO2eq and for scope 2 were 20,353.45 tCO2eq.

Entity	2023 (tCO2eq)
	Scope 1	Scope 2
Banco de Bogotá	1,928.00	2,517.00
Banco de Occidente	1,252.01	1,992.65
Banco Popular	345.88	2,226.42
Corficolombiana	224,146.00	13,598.00
Total	227,671.93	20,353.45

Note: Biogenic emissions are not considered for scope 1. Banco AV Villas and Porvenir are in the process of measuring their carbon footprint for the 2023 period.

Total emissions for scope 1 were 227,671.93 tCO2eq and for scope 2 were 20,353.45 tCO2eq. Due to the inclusion in the measurement of the emissions generated by the investments made mainly in

infrastructure and energy (industries whose activities generate a high impact), Corficolombiana represents the largest participation in the corporate GHG inventory, representing 98% of emissions for scope 1 and 67% of those corresponding to scope 2.

By 2024 we expect to have consolidated carbon footprint information for our four banks, Corficolombiana and Porvenir, in order to set group reduction goals.

5.3. Financed emissions

Financed emissions - bank portfolio

FN-CB-410b.1, FN-CB-410b.3, FN-CB-410b.4

The impact of GHG emissions generated by financial institutions goes beyond the activities under their direct control, being jointly responsible for those generated by their portfolios of financial assets. This exercise aligns climate risk management initiatives and the decarbonization of their portfolios.

The estimation of the financed emissions with the methodology defined by PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials) for commercial loans, takes into account the carbon footprint of the clients financed in the reporting year and the share of the Bank's debt within the capital structure of each client: total financial indebtedness plus equity.

In 2023, Banco de Bogotá measured the emissions of its portfolio for 2022 with a PCAF score between 2 and 3, in the oil & gas, power generation, steel and cement sectors, sectors that represent 69% of the emissions of the portfolio under analysis under this methodology. This allowed the bank to take a GHG inventory and estimate the carbon footprint of financed customers from production data. Financed emissions for 2022 were a total of 7.46 million tCO2eq, with a customer exposure of $33.08 trillion pesos. At the consolidated level, Banco de Bogotá represents 53.3% of Grupo Aval's gross portfolio.

In 2024, Banco de Bogotá will publish the issuances generated in 2023. For their part, Banco Popular, Banco de Occidente and Banco AV Villas will carry out the first measurement of emissions financed under the aforementioned methodology.

AUM Financed emissions

FN-AC-410b.1, FN-AC-410b.2, FN-AC-410b.3

The Porvenir Pension Fund Administrator made the first disclosure of GHGs derived from a portion of its investment portfolios under the PCAF methodology. These measurements will make it possible to establish a baseline and set targets for decarbonization.

The financed emissions and carbon footprint for the assets covered by Porvenir in terms of listed equities, corporate bonds and sovereign bonds were 1.8 million tons of CO₂eq in 2022. The carbon footprint for the year 2022 was 119.3 tons of CO₂eq per million dollars of Assets Under Management. This measure has a coverage of 36.8% of Porvenir's Assets Under Management.

For its part, Corficolombiana, although it does not have AUM asset management, classifies its benchmark assets into categories for financial control. In this regard, it measured the financed emissions for 2023 from its investments in the oil, gas and financial sectors, mainly, generating 13,054.87 tCO2eq.

In response to these recommendations, and understanding our mission, we have developed each of the thematic areas of the framework focused on promoting the management and disclosure of risks associated with climate change through our entities.

I. ESG Governance

Sustainability management is essential for the proper development of the business, which is how the governance structure was defined, where the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and strategic areas of the Holding are involved, establishing roles and responsibilities at different levels.

18 

Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

 

Awareness-raising and review sessions on ESG issues, including climate issues, were held for the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors of Grupo Aval Holding. These sessions addressed topics such as: importance of ESG issues, metrics, and standards, among others.

Corporate Sustainability Policy

With the aim of establishing the general guidelines for entities to carry out, through their governing bodies, the responsible management of natural resources, the promotion of fair labor practices, financial inclusion, and support for social and environmental projects, in 2023 we began the construction of the Corporate Sustainability Policy that will come into force in the first quarter of 2024.

II. Strategy

In 2023 we updated the materiality under a vision of double materiality, considering the impact that the environment (climate change) has on the business (see section Double Materiality in Grupo Aval). As a result of this exercise, one of the material topics prioritized is the Management and Mitigation of Climate Change. To respond to this management, our entities, which have a direct impact with their activities, are responsible for defining and executing their internal strategy, which must respond to the recommendations established by the TCFD framework and the commitments defined by the Holding.

Under this consideration, the disclosure of this information will be as reported in the TCFD reports of our entities.

III. Climate Change Risk Management

As described in the Climate Change Risk section of this document, the analysis of these risks is carried out by our banks, who have worked on the mapping and identification of physical and transition risks, assessing the need to strengthen prevention, containment, mitigation, and resilience mechanisms.

Entity	Governance	Strategy	Risk Management	Metrics & Goals
Banco de Bogotá	The bank established a strong governance model that ensures the prioritization of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues and incorporates them into decision-making, including issues related to climate change.	The sustainability strategy seeks long-term innovative, responsible, and visionary management.	Since 2019, the bank has analyzed its customers' environmental and social criteria through the Environmental and Social Risk Management System (ESRMS). This process has evolved, including, within the management framework, climate change risk as a transition and physical risk.	Since 2019, the bank has measured its annual corporate carbon footprint, taking into account the guidelines of the GHG Protocol and the Colombian Technical Standard NTC – ISO 14064-1:2006.
Banco de Occidente	The bank's Climate Governance recognizes the ownership and knowledge of the importance of climate change in the operation and, even more, highlights the role in the management of decarbonization and climate resilience processes in the value chain. The Climate Governance structure was defined, which is composed of a supervision of climate issues by the Board of Directors, President, and Support Committees such as the Audit Committee, the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee, and the Sustainability Steering Committee.	The climate strategy includes the identification of physical and transition risks, and opportunities that translate into a roadmap for decarbonization and climate resilience. For 2023, a decarbonization and climate resilience portfolio was defined in response to the risks assessed, and it was evident that climate action efforts are not starting from scratch.	The methodology developed by Ecoacciones S.A.S. BIC and Banco de Occidente for the identification, prioritization and assessment of financial risks associated with climate was adapted from the methodology proposed by "The Carbon Trust", in accordance with the bank's perspective, the sectoral analysis in Colombia and the TCFD recommendations.	To assess climate-related financial risks, the bank is in the process of internally validating the metrics and goals to consider.

Banco AV Villas	Given the importance of structuring and implementing a governance model that guarantees the proper management of ESG issues and, at the same time, permeates the bank's decision-making to successfully develop the sustainability strategy, a series of actions have been proposed that will strengthen the management of climate issues.	For the maturity of the climate strategy integrated into the bank's business model, a roadmap was drawn up aimed at managing the risks associated with climate change.	The bank will manage risks through the Environmental Risk Management System that will come into operation in 2024, through the development of 6 stages that will be executed in an integrated manner with the bank's credit process.	It is expected to establish the Climate Strategy with goals and objectives aligned with TCFD. By measuring its carbon footprint, the bank has identified opportunities to reduce GHG emissions.

Milestones in energy management and climate change of entities

Below are the main actions and achievements that have been carried out in our entities aimed at reducing their carbon footprint and efficient use of energy:

· Banco de Bogotá:

o It issued Colombia's first sustainable subordinated bond in the international market, with the participation of four multilateral banks: IDB Invest, Findev Canada, Finance in Motion and IFC. The issuance was made for an amount of USD$ 230 million. It also held meetings to accompany 870 clients in their energy transition and sustainable projects. It received an Honorable Mention in the Sustainable Bond of the Year Category, awarded by Global SME Finance Awards 2023 and IFC's Green Bond Technical Assistance Program. 945 employees from the Bank's strategic areas participated in training on issues related to climate change, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.

o It financed renewable energy generation projects equivalent to the consumption of more than 1.2 million homes.

· Banco de Occidente:

o It extended its Sustainable Mobility program to the offices in Barranquilla and Medellín, joining Bogotá and Cali. This prevented the generation of 25,273 CO₂. It has 43 offices with energy-efficient systems, of which six are operated with solar energy systems. It also developed volunteering with employees, with the planting of 1,070 trees in areas such as: Farallones National Natural Park (Cali), Chingaza National Natural Park (Bogotá) and Vía Parque Isla de Salamanca (Barranquilla). With its Vivienda Planeta Azul loan, it supports housing projects that have some sustainable certification (Leed, Edge, Casa Colombia and Breeam), providing differential interest rates.

o Fiduciaria de Occidente was certified as Carbon Neutral by ICONTEC.

· Banco AV Villas:

o It reduced energy consumption by 191,872 KW/H by replacing its lightbulbs with LED technology and with its AV Villas Business Forest initiative, in the Great Indigenous Reserve of Vaupés, it planted 326 trees in partnership with Saving The Amazon.

· Corficolombiana:

o It is carbon neutral, offsetting CO₂ emissions through reforestation projects by Mavalle S.A. It planted 191,762 trees and protected more than 1,051 species of fauna and flora and about 3,057 hectares.

o Through Surtigas, a subsidiary of Promigas, it inaugurated the UBT Solar project, the largest photovoltaic farm in the country at the Technological University of Bolívar, which has the capacity to generate 700 kWh/year and 1,260 solar panels, thus replacing approximately 50% of the energy consumed by the university.

o In support of their infrastructure investments, they adopted environmentally sound industrial processes, with the installation of solar panels for power supply in tunnel lighting, checkpoints, and road signage.

Our entities planted nearly 300,000 trees and Corficolombiana protected more than 1,051 species of fauna and flora and about 3,057 hectares.

5.5. Water Resource Management

The drinking water used in the daily activities of Grupo Aval Holding is distributed by the Aqueduct and Sewerage Company of the city of Bogotá, an entity that carries out the integral management of water resources.

As a complement to this management, Grupo Aval Holding has:

· Efficient faucets in sinks by means of sensors that prevent water waste due to use.

· Flushometers in our toilets instead of water tanks, so that the water waste per flush is reduced.

· Preventive maintenance to avoid leaks that can lead to resource losses.

The total consumption of drinking water for 2023 was 947.07 m³, although it should be clarified that in the Banco de Occidente building, where we have our offices, consumption is distributed proportionally according to the area that each office has.

The entities, aware of the importance of the efficient use of this resource, have developed internal programs that have led to the reduction of their consumption in 2023 compared to the immediately previous year, this is the case of Banco de Bogotá, which presented a reduction of 18%, as well as Banco Popular and Porvenir, which had a reduction.

Entity	Water consumption (m3)
	2021	2022	2023	Variation 2023 vs 2022
Banco de Bogotá	77,000	73,000	60,000	18%
Banco de Occidente	27,460	26,710	26,580	0%
Banco Popular	186,500	175,300	161,200	8%
Banco AV Villas	33,942	26,790	32,540	-21%
Corficolombiana	209,966,804	234,835,415	238,299,518	-1%
Porvenir	10,954	14,352	13,054	9%
Total	210,302,660	235,151,567	238,592,892	-1%

Total consumption for the Group's entities showed an increase of 1% for the year 2023, which was mainly due to the contribution of Corficolombiana, consumption that includes that of its investments, which, belonging to the sectors: Oil & Gas, infrastructure, cement companies, agriculture, among others, consume a high amount of water for the development of their activities.

Banco de Occidente's Blue Planet Award celebrated its 30th anniversary. It aims to highlight notable achievements in the protection and conservation of water and the environment. More than $1.99 billion has been awarded in prizes aimed at promoting the development of water care projects. This award is given every 2 years and will have its sixteenth edition in 2024.

5.6. Waste Management

In the offices of Grupo Aval Holding, we have recycling programs, where the separation of waste at the source is promoted with ecological points, resulting in the delivery of the following quantities as recyclable and hazardous waste. During 2024 we will continue to work to establish a baseline regarding the quantities of unusable waste.

Recycling Culture

At Grupo Aval Holding's facilities, we promote awareness-raising strategies with employees, through informative pieces, raising awareness of the importance of separation at the source and the proper disposal of waste. In 2023 we delivered:

· 1,894.5 kilograms of recycled waste to the Fundación Sanar, these elements are used for the program to help the treatment of low-income children with cancer, which turns the recycling process not only into an environmental aid, but also social work.

· 763.4 kilograms of electrical and electronic waste to suppliers who are responsible for the proper disposal of these elements, part of this waste is voluntarily brought by employees from their homes as a result of these campaigns.

· Reusable ecological mugs to all employees in December 2023, to discourage the use of disposable cups in offices.

Banco AV Villas provided support to the Fundación Sanar, delivering 13.2 tons of plastic caps, which the foundation markets to invest in the early detection and treatment of childhood and adolescent cancer in the country. This contribution was made thanks to the support of employees, their families, and customers of the bank.

Waste Impact Management

We guarantee that the treatment of the waste we generate is carried out by certified companies for its management and final disposal according to its characteristics.

The management of unusable waste is carried out by the management company of the city of Bogotá, which is taken to landfills with quality standards and regulated by the district.

5.7. Articulated Work with our Banks

We continue to lead the Corporate Sustainability Committee with the participation of our entities (Banks, Corficolombiana, Porvenir and dale!), to monitor management and make decisions that allow us to optimize the efforts and resources available, in addition to finding opportunities for corporate synergies.

5.8. Supplier Management

We highlight the Holding's supplier management in 2023:

· We promote the national industry through the acquisition of local goods and services.

Supplier type	% number of suppliers	% of value paid to suppliers
Local	91%	89%
Foreign	9%	11%
Total	100%	100%

· We raise awareness among our suppliers about Occupational Health and Safety by publicizing our Policy, the prevention of emergencies that may occur in our facilities and other relevant aspects of our Occupational Health and Safety Management System, hereinafter "OSHS". By 2023, awareness was raised among 33% of the suppliers who frequent our facilities.

· It is important for us to know our suppliers, for this reason, considering social issues, since December 2023 for the process of updating and/or creating as a supplier, we ask them if their company, their legal representative or partners, have been subject to analysis in terms of human rights.

· For the engagement and updating of our suppliers, as a social criterion in the selection process, we verify that the applicant supplier has implemented the OSHS, as a result 100% of suppliers comply with this aspect.

· Personnel linked through outsourcing who carry out activities within our facilities are periodically verified to guarantee their coverage in Social Security and Occupational Risks; we also include them in some activities scheduled in the Work and Training Plan of our OSHS.

In our supplier selection process, we announce and applicants agree to comply with the criteria of business ethics: Aval Ethics Line, Grupo Aval Code of Ethics and Conduct, anti-corruption, prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism, confidentiality, protection of personal data, declaration of no conflict of interest, sustainability. 100% of our suppliers are aware of and have agreed to comply with these Company policies and guidelines.

From our entities:

Banco de Bogotá, Banco Popular and Corficolombiana have Sustainable Procurement Policies, whose objective is to incorporate environmental and social criteria for the acquisition of goods and services, with a rational and efficient use of the same suppliers, promoting the adoption of sustainable practices.

27 

Practices, policies, processes and indicators in relation to social and environmental issues, including climate issues (Chapter Extracted from Sustainability Report)

Corficolombiana leads this effort by analyzing 87% of its suppliers under these criteria. Expanding its commitment to this stakeholder group, it promotes good practices, with the CorfiSostenible award, which recognizes good practices in: Protection and conservation of the environment, Recycling, reuse and/or recovery of waste, Clean energy and sustainable mobility, Contribution to communities and improvement of quality of life. In the last version, the Woman Entrepreneur Award and the Bonus Award were included.

5.9. Analysis of Assets Under Management under Social and Environmental Criteria

FN-AC-410a.1, FN-AC-410a.2, FN-AC-410a.3

Porvenir continues to strengthen processes to develop internal ESG ratings for the review of issuers in different sectors, which contributes to risk analyses. At the end of 2023, the percentage of assets under management of Porvenir that incorporated the ESG assessment corresponded to 52.88%. In addition, a Relationship Policy was included in the Responsible Investment Policy to establish principles in relation to environmental, social and governance (ESG) dialogue and relationship activities with the companies or funds in which it invests, either individually or through collaborative engagement initiatives. In 2023 it participated as an active member of the Asset Owner Technical Committee of PRI.

Corficolombiana has a Responsible Investment Policy, which incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in decision-making and in the determination and management of risks, opportunities and issues related to investment management. It has assets using ESG integration by $17.3 trillion; assets using Sustainability Thematic Investments integration by $5.7 trillion and applies to all new searches.

Corficolombiana and Porvenir are signatories of the PRI.

6. Social Value Creation

Under our commitment to contribute to the country with actions that promote environments with equal conditions free of discrimination and closing social gaps, in recent years we have generated actions that have benefited thousands of Colombians, providing access to the financial sector and improving their living conditions.

Through our entities, we promote financial inclusion and education by reaching different segments of the country's population such as: young people, military forces, people over 60, children, among others, with products and services focused on their needs. In addition, we provide financial solutions to SMEs favoring the correct development of their activities.

We understand that the development of the country goes beyond the economic, which is why we lead social projects aimed at promoting the well-being of the entire population, such as the Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo Cancer Research and Treatment Center (CTIC) and "Misión la Guajira".

We are agents of change, and as one of the nation's largest employers, we have a responsibility to foster discrimination-free environments for all. For this reason, we work together with our entities to develop initiatives and programs that guarantee equal conditions and respect for their rights as individuals, actions that have also allowed us to have certifications and recognitions at the national level that support our commitment.

In 2024, we will continue to develop programs to continue closing social gaps in the country, generating well-being for all our stakeholders, and promoting respect for human rights with the implementation of our Corporate Human Rights Policy.

6.1. Financial Inclusion and Education

Through our entities, we develop initiatives, products and services aimed at closing gaps in access to the financial sector in the country's communities. Innovation has been fundamental to impacting more and more people, and making customers have responsible financial habits.

dale!, Grupo Aval's Digital Wallet

dale! is Grupo Aval's technological platform that provides individuals and businesses with tools to make electronic deposits and financial transactions from a single, 100% digital solution. In the last year, it presented a growth in customers of 231% compared to 2022, with 1,395,460 new customers, reaching a total of 2,000,542. 82% of these new customers were individuals (without a store or small businesses) and the remaining percentage were mobile sales forces.
