IFC and BTG Pactual Partner to Drive Sustainability and Development in Latin America

August 28, 2025

São Paulo, August 28, 2025 – The International Finance Corporation (IFC) and BTG Pactual have announced a strategic partnership to advance sustainability and development initiatives in Brazil and across Latin America. This collaboration aims to mobilize resources and expertise to address critical global challenges and foster impactful investments.

This partnership reflects the shared commitment of IFC and BTG Pactual to promote sustainable development and create opportunities and long-term value for communities and ecosystems and could potentially reach up to $1 billion in joint investments and private capital mobilized by the end of 2028. Additionally, IFC and BTG Pactual will share knowledge and best practices, including those related to IFC’s Environmental and Social Performance Standards.

BTG Pactual will identify opportunities for co-financing, equity participation, and fund investments, while IFC will offer financial and technical solutions. The investments will be made through both co-financing of social and environmental development and conservation initiatives, and co-investment in portfolio companies, infrastructure and private equity funds, and projects from companies with nature-based solutions or those involved in the Amazon bioeconomy.

The Memorandum of Understanding underscores the shared vision of IFC and BTG Pactual to address pressing global challenges and promote inclusive economic growth. By combining IFC’s global expertise in development finance with BTG Pactual’s regional leadership in Latin America, the two organizations aim to create scalable and impactful solutions that benefit Latin America and other regions.

According to Roberto Sallouti, CEO of BTG Pactual, the collaboration with IFC will accelerate the execution of impact initiatives, providing viability and scale to projects with transformative potential: “The allocation of these resources will be done carefully, adhering to technical and financial criteria, so that the investments to be made available by IFC will be used to promote the changes we need for a more sustainable economy.”

Alfonso García Mora, IFC Regional Vice President, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, stated: “This partnership with BTG Pactual is a testament to our commitment to fostering sustainable private sector development and job creation in Latin America. The private sector can and should be a critical player in advancing the climate agenda and driving transformative initiatives that improve lives and promote economic growth.”

IFC has been investing in Brazil’s private sector since 1957 to address the country’s main development challenges, including those related to urbanization, social inclusion, competitiveness and productivity, and natural resource management.
