Sustainalytics - ESG Risk Rating
The Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating is based on a research framework that assesses the extent to which
an organization is exposed to sector-specific environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and how
effectively these risks are managed.
The rating provides a quantitative measure of unmanaged ESG risks and categorizes risks into five categories:
negligible, low, medium, high and very high. Key issues considered in this assessment process include
Corporate Governance, Human Capital, ESG Integration - Financials and Business Ethics.
Thanks to its successful efforts, the Bank received a risk rating of 11.0 in Sustainalytics’ Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) risk rating in 2022 and took its place among the leading organizations in Türkiye.
This achievement reinforces the Bank’s pioneering role in sustainability at both national and international levels and positively affects Türkiye’s ranking in this area.
As a result of an assessment conducted by Sustainalytics, which evaluated approximately 15,000 organizations around the world, the Bank earned the ‘ESG Industry Top Rated’ and ‘ESG Regional Top Rated’ badges and was listed among the 50 banks to be entitled for these prestigious titles in 2023. This demonstrates that the Bank’s ESG performance and effectiveness in risk management are recognized at both industry and regional levels.
