Equity Bank Kenya unveiled its first Sustainable Development Impact Disclosure (SDID) Report, prepared in partnership with J.P. Morgan, on 21 October 2025, as its parent Equity Group released its 2024 Sustainability Report in Nairobi.

According to the group, the SDID Report provides a detailed view of the bank's measurable contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals, showing how capital is being deployed to deliver socio-economic and environmental outcomes. Equity Group described the disclosure as a significant step in advancing transparency and accountability in sustainable finance.

Managing Director and CEO James Mwangi said the milestone “reinforces our leadership in transparent, impact-based reporting” and that the report demonstrates “how every shilling invested creates value for people, communities, and the planet.”

#### SUSTAINABILITY REPORT FIGURES

The group's 2024 Sustainability Report, its fourth annual report, states that the Inua Jamii cash-transfer programme was scaled up to reach 447,355 individuals, with KSh 25.8 billion ($199.7 million) transferred in cash to needy households. The group also disbursed KSh 4 billion ($31 million) in affordable credit to support vulnerable families.

The Equity Group Foundation distributed 44,732 clean energy products in 2024 and reached more than 466,975 households with access to renewable energy solutions. Its tree-growing initiative reached a total of 35 million trees.

Among other programmes, the Equity Afya health network expanded to 127 outpatient medical centres in Kenya and five clinics in the Democratic Republic of Congo, serving a cumulative 3.3 million patients. The Elimu scholarship programme supported 38,000 beneficiaries, while 245,675 farmers received training across value chains and 116,812 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises were trained. The sustainability report also builds on the previous year's recognition by the International Finance Corporation, which ranked the group first in the world for its contributions to climate finance.
