An event committed to sustainability

As part of BBVA’s commitment to environmental and social sustainability, the Annual General Meeting has been certified under the ISO 20121 (AENOR) since 2018. This certification demonstrates that the event’s design, organization and implementation have been planned in a way that takes the potential environmental, social and economic impacts of the event into account.

Furthermore, the event has been considered carbon neutral since 2020, as CO2 emissions from the event are reduced and offset for the planning through the execution to ensure that it is net zero in emissions.

BBVA AGM philanthropic initiative

For the fifth consecutive year, BBVA is launching the philanthropic initiative for the Annual General Meeting, allocating €300,000 to finance four non-profit organizations’ projects in the following areas:

  • Social and economic inequality.
  • Education.
  • Health and dependency.
  • Environment

Over 100 projects were presented during the call for proposals in December 2024. One winner will be selected in each category.

What is an Annual General Meeting?

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is one of the main governing bodies of a corporation. There, the owners of the company, the shareholders, adopt resolutions on matters determined by the law and the corporate statutes. The AGM has a set structure, established by the Corporate Enterprises Act.

The AGM can be ordinary or extraordinary. Ordinary AGMs are held once a year, in the first six months following the end of the previous year, to approve: the management of the company, the accounts from the previous year, and the distribution of profits, among other matters. All other meetings are considered extraordinary.
