Bogotá, 27 de abril de 2026

Las entidades financieras y el sector empresarial deben incorporar de manera decidida una gestión eficiente de los riesgos ambientales (incluido el climático) y sociales en el manejo diario de sus operaciones.

Así lo advirtió el Director de Investigación, Innovación y Desarrollo de la Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC), Francisco Duque, en el panel "Gestión de riesgo ambiental y social para la integración de la biodiversidad en el sector empresarial", realizado en el marco del foro "Biodiversidad y negocios: un llamado a la acción", organizado por el Instituto Humboldt y la Universidad de los Andes en Bogotá.

El funcionario aseguró que la implementación de la gestión de nuevos riesgos debe tener en cuenta aspectos como la gobernanza, la alineación de políticas y procedimientos, las capacidades institucionales, la medición del impacto y el cambio cultural para lograr avances significativos en los próximos años.

Si las empresas pretenden obtener resultados significativos en la gestión de los nuevos riesgos es necesario que establezcan tiempos concretos, además de fijar sistemas de evaluación y garantizar el acompañamiento de la implementación de los procesos.

Francisco Duque recordó que, desde hace varios años, la SFC ha establecido un marco normativo enfocado en la gestión de nuevos riesgos como, por ejemplo, la Circular Externa 015 de 2025, que fija reglas para la integración de factores ambientales, sociales, incluidos los climáticos, así como la Carta Circular 067 de 2025, relativa al plan de implementación de dichos planes.

No obstante, dijo que el verdadero reto es que las entidades vigiladas implementen de manera efectiva la normatividad con todos los actores del mercado para que el mensaje sobre la gestión de nuevos riesgos llegue de manera efectiva al público en general.
