For Luis Atala Corporate vice president of Ficohsa financial group
“Today we have presence in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama. In addition, we have a representative office in the United States”.
We were born in 1991 as Financiera Comercial Hondureña S.A. on the initiative of a group of entrepreneurial, visionary businessmen and with the conviction of the partners to continue investing in the country, which allowed the founding of Banco Ficohsa, S.A. on July 18, 1994.
At Grupo Financiero Ficohsa we have proven to be a point of support foundation of the group 28 years ago. Today, we continue working to professionalize our focus on sustainability, with a deep work internally to co-create this culture of sustainability that characterizes us in Ficohsa and fills us with pride. From the environmental point of view, we are the only group that formally measures the ecological footprint in Honduras and we became a signatory member of the United Nations Global Compact in 2018 in order to strengthen the commitment to address the social, economic and environmental challenges of globalization, putting people, the planet, prosperity and peace at the center.
In CSR we work hand in hand with Fundación Ficohsa, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary, and with other foundations such as Fundación Amigos del Hospital María, Fundación Hondufuturo, Fundación Convive Mejor , Fundación Creciendo con Diabetes, Fundación CALI Honduras (Central America Leadership Initiative).
