September 25, 2025
In a discussion with Robert da Silva Ashley, Partner and Co-Chair of Energy and Natural Resources at DLA Piper, organized by the Spain – U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Javier Rodríguez Soler stressed the importance of financial support and advice for companies in energy transition projects.
“The energy transition is not a single path, but the combination of sectoral and regional trajectories that depend on policies, resources and technologies. At BBVA, we are committed to next-generation technologies to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. We want to support our clients in their transition processes with financing and advisory services, helping to ensure that investment opportunities are scalable and sustainable,” said Javier Rodríguez Soler.
Regarding the factors that drive sustainability, Rodríguez Soler noted that the transformation will only be possible if it is economically viable for companies and households.
Rodríguez Soler recalled that BBVA channeled €304 billion into sustainable business between 2018 and 2024, and the bank has set a new target of €700 billion for the 2025-2029 period.
Organized by the Spain – U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the forum brought together institutional representatives and corporate leaders in sustainability and the energy transition. Some of the participants included Jaime Muguiro, CEO of CEMEX, and Joseph Stiglitz, University Professor and Nobel Laureate in Economics in 2001. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez gave the closing remarks.
