Water Management
Climate change and increasing temperature threaten the
sustainability of water resources by causing water levels to drop
and wetlands to decrease. Therefore, water management is one of
the most important stages of the sustainability process. In
today’s world, where the need for water is gradually increasing
and water resources are decreasing due to the climate crisis,
effective water management, saving, publicizing its performance,
monitoring and evaluation are mandatory.
The Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye carries out its
sustainability activities with an eye to the future and water
management. The Bank regularly monitors water consumption in its
premises and aims to save water by taking various measures in
water management.
The headquarters building is in Istanbul and is shared with
another institution. Therefore, a joint study is carried out on
water consumption. All the water used by the Bank is supplied
from the municipal water supply network, and wastewater is
processed in accordance with the legislation.
Decisions on water management strategies and targets are assigned
to the responsibility of the entire Bank. In this way, assessing
environmental impacts and determining sustainable water management
policies is moving forward in a system that requires ownership
by all. At the same time, the Bank is committed to taking the
necessary steps to ensure the sustainability and protection of
water resources.
Water management is an important part of our sustainability strategy
and reflects our commitment to preserving water resources for
future generations. Adhering to sustainability principles, we
continue to reduce our water consumption and promote effective
water management practices.
