Mexico Ranks 4th in Sustainable Investment in Latin America

Mexico is in fourth place among Latin America’s most attractive countries for sustainable investment, according to a study by Exness Insights. The report highlights the region’s growing role as a hub for green investments that balance economic growth with environmental protection.

The study attributes Mexico’s ranking to its $4.3 billion in climate bonds and $3.2 billion invested in green energy projects over the past two decades.

In addition, the country is home to 94 B Corp-certified companies, including crowdfunding platform Donadora and social enterprise Ilumexico, both early adopters of environmentally and socially responsible business models.

Argentina leads the regional index with a score of 80 out of 100, thanks to $4.8 billion in green energy investments and 244 B Corp-certified companies operating within the country.

Chile follows in second place with a score of 74, backed by an impressive $14.6 billion in climate bonds and 251 B Corp companies that reflect the country’s strong emphasis on sustainability. Ecuador takes the third spot with 73 points, bolstered by $4.4 billion invested in green energy.

Mexico surpasses Brazil, which despite leading Latin America in climate bonds with $17.3 billion and significant renewable energy investments, ranks fifth due to high CO2 emissions and other factors that lowered its overall score.

The Exness Insights ranking was based on five key metrics: climate bond investment, green energy investment over the past 20 years, percentage changes in green investment over the last decade, the number of B Corp-certified company headquarters, and per capita CO2 emissions.

Mexico’s advancement in the ranking underscores its growing leadership in sustainable investment in the region, as more countries prioritize energy transition and social responsibility as drivers of long-term economic growth.
