Our Approach to Sustainable Finance
In recent years, as the global community has faced increasingly intense social and environmental challenges, entirely new areas of initiative have emerged, ranging from renewable energy to energy efficiency, from the circular economy to waste management, and from the development of disadvantaged groups and communities. One of the most fundamental determinants in the development of these areas is, of course, financing. The most appropriate source of support for the areas and projects driving the world's progress toward sustainable development has become Sustainable Finance.
At QNB Türkiye, we believe that sustainable finance is the most fundamental way to support national and global sustainable development goals, and we are taking steps in this direction. It reduces the financial risks of our portfolio while also enabling us to become an important component in the transition to an inclusive, sustainable, and low-emission economy. This approach underpins the partnerships we have developed with international financial institutions and our numerous innovative products.
Sustainable Finance also means integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria into QNB Group's financing activities. In this context, we are working to integrate this concept into everything from the products and services we offer our customers to all our banking activities.
Sustainable Finance is one of the most important objectives of the QNB Group in supporting sustainable development initiatives at both the local and global levels; however, it is also one of the most powerful ways to maximize the business opportunities arising from the transition to a more inclusive economy.
