Introduction

In 2022, the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye reviewed its Material Topics from a double materiality perspective. As it does every year, the Bank received opinions from all stakeholder groups on the relevant issues and provided input to the materiality analysis.

The Bank acts with an integrated perspective and attaches great importance to receiving stakeholders’ opinions on Material Topics and taking steps to meet their expectations in line with its sustainability strategy.

The Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye regularly engages with all stakeholder groups through various communication channels and focuses on creating value by taking into account the priorities, needs and expectations of different stakeholders from the Bank.

During the preparation of the 2022 Integrated Report, the Bank sought the views of all stakeholder groups on Material Topics and these assessments contributed to the materiality analysis.

Material Topics were identified based on the Bank’s strategy, the views of internal stakeholders, the views of material external stakeholders and the results of the external environment analysis.

In this process, priority issues under the focus areas where the Bank’s strategy is shaped were identified and shared with internal and external stakeholders to obtain their views and comments.

In addition, the Bank has gained insight into what goals the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye should set to achieve solutions that will create value on their behalf. These assessments were shaped by taking into account reports published by national and international organizations.
