Banco BHD has engaged in various corporate social and internal initiatives in the Dominican Republic. The institution received a renewal of its certification through 2026 from the Ministry of Public Health and the National Breastfeeding Commission for its lactation rooms, designated as ‘Salas Amigas de la Familia Lactante en el Entorno Laboral’. This recognition is part of the bank’s ‘Estrategia de Género Mujer’ and includes the ‘Mamá Radiante’ program to support employees during pregnancy and maternity.

During its 54th anniversary, the bank honored 997 employees for their career achievements and long-term service, ranging from 5 to 50 years. The ceremony, led by Luis Molina Achécar, president of Centro Financiero BHD, recognized 644 employees with 5 to 10 years of service and 353 employees with careers between 15 and 50 years. Notable honorees included Josefina Mejía de Sosa for 50 years of service. During this celebration, the bank introduced a new institutional campaign titled ‘El valor de elegir bien’, which focuses on ethics as a core organizational principle.

Additionally, the Association of Merchants of the Duarte Province recognized Banco BHD during the Expo Mayorista 2026. The award, presented to Molina Achécar, highlights the institution’s support for the national productive sector and its contribution to the economic development of the Dominican Republic.
