Sustainability in construction has gained great relevance in recent years, and Colombia is no exception. In order to promote environmentally responsible practices in the construction sector, the Fondo Nacional del Ahorro (FNA) has launched the Green Line of its Constructor Credit, a key initiative to drive the development of sustainable housing in the country. This credit line offers financial benefits to Social Interest Housing (VIS) and Priority Interest Housing (VIP) projects that hold recognized sustainability certifications such as EDGE, LEED, Casa Colombia, and BREEAM.
The Green Line Constructor Credit offers a 50-point discount on the interest rate for construction projects oriented toward sustainability. These projects must hold international sustainability certifications, ensuring they meet high standards of energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
The FNA seeks to promote sustainable construction and facilitate access to homeownership in Colombia, offering benefits such as:
Additionally, this credit line aims to promote sustainable construction, helping developers reduce financing costs for their projects. By prioritizing efficient use of natural resources such as water and energy, reduction of CO2 emissions, and creating climate-resilient urban environments, projects financed through the Green Line not only contribute to sustainability but also improve communities’ quality of life.
The Constructor Credit has demonstrated positive impact on the construction sector in Colombia. Since its launch, it has reached 38 municipalities and approved over 668 billion pesos to finance construction projects. With the addition of the Green Line, the FNA strengthens its commitment to sustainable economic development, taking another step toward responsible construction that benefits both communities and the environment.
