Mission, vision and values

MISSION

To contribute to the internationalization of companies and the Spanish economy and promote the economic and social development of developing or emerging countries.

To be the government’s main public-private instrument promoting direct and indirect investment abroad and financing sustainable development; also to be Spain’s public-private venture capital specialist abroad.

Corporate values

Additionality

Offer solutions that are hard to find on the market thus making COFIDES complementary to the private financial sector.

Catalyst effect

Spark a ‘crowding-in’ effect for private and public resources enabling the financing of projects that otherwise would have been difficult to carry out.

Economic feasibility

Risk/profitability management using the most advanced techniques and tools. Profits and a sound financial situation serve as evidence for shareholders and other stakeholders of COFIDES’ solid financial management.

Sustainability and impact. Commitment to the SDG

COFIDES is committed to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of its investments. This requirement is known as the ‘COFIDES standard’. Over and above financial profitability, investments seek a positive impact on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Good governance

Corporate commitment to ethics, scrupulous compliance with the law and managerial excellence and transparency.
