Arauco Recognized for Its Leadership in Sustainable Finance in Chile

During the "Impulso Sostenible" meeting, organized by the Santiago Stock Exchange and Nuam, Arauco was highlighted as one of the main drivers of the sustainable finance market in the country over the last eight years.

The recognition underscores the role the company has played in consolidating financial instruments linked to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, in a context where the Chilean market has experienced sustained growth in this type of initiative.

A Consolidated Sustainability Strategy

Since 2019, Arauco has taken a decisive step by directing 100% of its debt issuances towards sustainable instruments. In total, the company has issued six sustainable bonds, two in the United States and four in Chile, positioning itself as a relevant player both locally and internationally in this field.

These instruments have enabled the channeling of resources towards projects aligned with environmental goals, reinforcing its corporate strategy focused on sustainable development and impact reduction.

One of the most notable aspects of its recent trajectory was the issuance carried out in 2025, when the company executed the largest corporate bond in Chile's history, reaching 20 million UF. This milestone not only set a precedent in the national financial market but also included the debut of the company's first hybrid bond, expanding its financing capacity with innovative tools.

The operation was highly valued by the market, demonstrating a high level of confidence from investors in the company's financial strength and sustainable strategy.

Market Confidence and Future Outlook

The recognition received during the meeting was awarded to executives from Arauco's finance and sustainability areas, who have led the implementation of these initiatives. The distinction reflects not only the company's performance but also the evolution of the Chilean market towards more responsible investment models.

In a global scenario marked by climate urgency and the need to transition towards low-carbon economies, sustainable finance has become a key tool for mobilizing resources and accelerating structural changes.

In this context, Arauco positions itself as a benchmark within the Chilean business sector, demonstrating that it is possible to combine economic growth with environmental commitment, and actively contributing to the development of a more sustainable financial market aligned with future challenges.
