QNB Turkey has maintained its place on the Global A List in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) 2024 Climate Change Program and has qualified to enter the Global A List in the Water Security Program by improving its score.
QNB Turkey has secured its name on the Global A List thanks to its outstanding performance in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) 2024 Climate Change and Water Security Programs, which are among the most prestigious platforms measuring companies' impacts on climate change and water security while setting global sustainability standards.
With the joint contributions of its 14,541 employees, including subsidiaries, the bank has reinforced its leadership not only nationally but also globally in environmental responsibility.
Placing sustainable banking at the core of its business strategy, QNB Turkey aligns all its operations with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The bank focuses on combating climate change and sustainable management of water resources in its operations, takes comprehensive steps to integrate environmental risks into financial decision-making processes, and offers sustainable financing solutions to its customers.
Having maintained its leadership score in last year’s CDP Climate Change Program and secured its place on the Global A List, the bank improved its score in the Water Security Program, reaching the leadership level in this program as well.
QNB Turkey CEO Ömür Tan commented on this significant achievement:
“At QNB Turkey, we provide our financial services not only with the aim of creating economic value but also with a conscious effort to generate environmental and social benefits. We act with awareness of the impact and transformative power derived from banking, shaping both our internal operations and our products and services from this perspective. We embrace business practices that support the fight against the climate crisis, a low-carbon economy, social welfare, and inclusivity, and we communicate transparently with all our stakeholders.”
Ömür Tan added, emphasizing their commitment to sustainability:
“We have been consistently implementing stable strategies within the scope of sustainability for many years and aim to continue these practices with determination. Our inclusion on the Global A List in the CDP Climate Change and Water Security Programs demonstrates that our commitment to fighting climate change is recognized and appreciated globally. As a pioneer of change and transformation in the financial sector, we aim not only to adapt to change but also to be a leading institution building a sustainable future.”
