What changed
Francisco Duque, Director of Investigation, Innovation and Development at the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, delivered remarks at the Instituto Colombiano de Gobierno Corporativo's board certification event on April 24, 2026, calling on corporate boards to increase focus on new categories of risk including environmental, social, and climate-related exposures. The SFC indicated elevated expectations regarding how companies will manage these emerging risks within their governance frameworks.
Affected parties—primarily financial institutions and publicly-held companies operating in Colombia—should consider integrating sustainability more formally into strategic planning and board-level risk oversight processes. While the speech does not create binding compliance obligations, it signals regulatory expectations that supervisors and examiners may reference in future supervisory assessments of corporate governance practices.

Bogotá, 24 de abril de 2026.
Francisco Duque, Director de Investigación, Innovación y Desarrollo (DIID) de la Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC), participó en el evento "VIII certificación de miembros de junta directiva", organizado por el Instituto Colombiano de Gobierno Corporativo (ICGC).
En su presentación, hizo referencia a los nuevos retos que enfrentan las juntas directivas de las empresas en materia de riesgos ambientales y sociales, incluidos los climáticos.
Sostuvo que los entornos financieros y de negocios son cada día más complejos, lo que dificulta la toma de decisiones por parte de los directivos de las sociedades.
Señaló que la SFC tiene altas expectativas sobre los nuevos riesgos que se imponen en el contexto global, lo que implica tener gobiernos corporativos preparados para enfrentar esos entornos.
Finalmente dijo que la sostenibilidad debe estar incluida siempre en los modelos de negocio.
De acuerdo con el director de la DIID, una junta directiva debe utilizar información para decidir y no solo para conocer el entorno, teniendo un rol crítico frente a la administración de las compañías.
