The Environment-Friendly Bank of Türkiye
Having implemented the highest number of projects for environment and energy financing in Türkiye, TSKB has become a notable brand in this area. The Bank has been supporting renewable energy and environment-oriented investments for a long time. The first and only Turkish-owned bank to be certified to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard, TSKB has assimilated environmental factors, integrated them into the processes of the workplace, and adopted them as part of its corporate culture.
TSKB believes that it is only education and knowledge sharing which will make it possible for us to leave a healthier physical and social environment to the coming generations for a livable world and a sustainable life. With its environment-oriented corporate responsibility projects, the Bank combines on a common denominator its social responsibility awareness and its objective to be the environment-friendly bank of Türkiye.
TSKB has developed a project called “Environment: Our Priority” with the objective of creating various platforms to bring together all segments concerned with environmental issues; to raise the level of social awareness and knowledge; to enable individuals of all ages to go through positive and permanent behavioral changes by helping to develop their sense of ownership of nature. The portal called cevreciyiz.com, launched as the communications channel for the project, is the most comprehensive portal ever developed regarding the environment.
