Striving for a sustainable future, Garanti contributed TL 274 billion to the economy

Commenting on the financial results, Garanti Bank CEO Fuat Erbil stated that: “Garanti acts with the awareness of the impact by each and every action it takes, and with the responsibility of being an institution that shapes the future and leads the sector. Combining its approach to unconditional customer satisfaction with its solid capital structure and efficiency-focus, Garanti, completed the first nine months of the year successfully. While preserving its solid financial structure through effective balance sheet management, Garanti uninterruptedly sustained its contribution to the economy.”

Touching upon the significance of being responsible bankers aware of the risks and opportunities, Erbil said: “As the only company from Turkey, and as one of the 100 companies around the world, we have announced our support to the recommendations of Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) formed by Financial Stability Board (FSB) under G-20. Furthermore, as a signatory of UN Global Compact, we have pioneered the formation and signed the 'Declaration of Sustainable Finance'. Moreover during this period, we have signed an agreement with European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) with a 5 year maturity for €75 million financing,  equivalent to approximately TL300 million that aims to expand the utilization of Green Mortgage loans and protect future generations through Green Buildings.

"We strive to create value for our customers, employees and all our stakeholders. We became the only company from Turkey qualified to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index for 3 consecutive years. Teachers Academy Foundation (ÖRAV), founded by Garanti, is granted Special Consultative Status by UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). I am thankful to my valuable colleagues who carry Garanti to the leadership position in the banking sector and are the pioneers of transformation on international platforms".
