We believe that the responsibilities of the financial sector in sustainability are extremely important, thanks to the sector’s transformative power. Being aware of our responsibilities, at Yapı Kredi, we manage a transparent process, report our impact and targets, and prioritize the financing of green and sustainable projects that the real sector needs. While taking responsibility for green and sustainable transformation, we support our customers in their transition to sustainable business models.
In this context, we offer financial solutions to sustainable development issues through numerous products and services such as sustainability-linked loans, renewable energy and energy efficiency loans, Nature-Friendly Mortgage and Nature-Friendly Auto loans.
On the other hand, we encourage our customers to take action in sustainability and support them with our products and services during this transformation. We set certain targets with the customers’ sustainability performances, independent of where the loan is planned to be used, in sustainability-linked loans that are extended to our corporate and commercial customers. We provide advantages in loan conditions if these targets are achieved during the loan’s term.
It is of utmost importance for the banking sector to effectively manage the risks caused by the climate crisis while seizing the opportunities that arise. Accordingly, we support the increase in renewable energy capacity to contribute to Türkiye’s transition to a low-carbon economy. In this regard, we are committed to supporting renewable energy and energy efficiency investments to protect the environment, mitigate the impact of the climate crisis, and contribute by developing long-term business partnerships with our customers.
