Sustainability-Themed Loans and Sustainable Finance

Sustainable Finance

The Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye is dedicated, as its core mission, to fulfilling the financing needs of entrepreneurs in line with Türkiye’s sustainable development priorities, to facilitating the broader distribution of capital, contributing to structural transformation, fostering cooperation with domestic and international institutions, and providing expert consultancy support.

The Bank aims to manage the risks and opportunities associated with its services and operations by addressing economic development, constituting the fundamental cornerstone of sustainable growth, as well as its environmental and social dimensions. The Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye adopts a holistic approach to sustainable and responsible principles. Through its strategic initiatives, the Bank seeks to expand its sphere of influence by creating shared value for all stakeholders involved.

Sustainability-Themed Loans and Sustainable Finance

The Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye recognizes sustainable development as a core priority and plays a pivotal role in fostering an "eco-friendly" economy by promoting investments in tourism, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and various environmental projects. By positioning itself as an exemplary corporate citizen, the Bank actively cultivates partnerships with international financial institutions, focusing on environmental protection and climate change mitigation, both of which are indispensable pillars of sustainable development.

Supporting Türkiye’s Green Transformation

The Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye plays a pioneering role in advancing Türkiye’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2053, executing various strategic financing projects to that end. With a commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the Bank is taking significant strides in sustainability and contributing to a low-carbon future.

In line with its 2021 Sustainable Finance Framework, the Bank aims to drive progress in renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and the fight against climate change. To this end, the Bank accelerates Türkiye’s green transformation by deploying long-term resources from international partnerships, with a particular focus on carbon-reduction initiatives in the industrial sector.

The Bank directly contributes to Türkiye’s environmentally sensitive growth targets through its array of sustainable financing instruments and spearheads projects that not only prioritize environmental preservation but also align with the nation's sustainable development goals, especially through renewable energy initiatives.

Through our participation in the United Nations Global Compact’s Climate Ambition Accelerator Program, our Bank has established science-based emission-reduction targets and a comprehensive long-term roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions. As one of the 19 companies that joined this program in 2021, our Bank remains actively engaged through 2025. Our Bank is committed to enhancing its green finance portfolios by diligently monitoring sectoral and global developments while integrating sustainability principles across all facets of its operations.

As of 2025, the Bank’s portfolio comprises 79% in investment loans, 5% in working capital loans, and 16% in APEX loans. By the end of 2025, the sustainability-themed loan portfolio accounted for 96% of the total portfolio, while the climate-related SDG ratio stood at 56%. In 2025, financing renewable energy facilities with an installed capacity of 3,474 MWe prevented 3.7 million tons of CO2e emissions. At the end of 2025, the installed capacity of these projects within our portfolio accounted for 6.6% of Türkiye’s total renewable energy capacity.

Drawing upon its extensive institutional heritage, the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye remains steadfast in its commitment to assume a leading role in alignment with Türkiye’s 2053 net-zero emission targets, providing support to investors and facilitating renewable energy projects. The Bank intends to make significant progress in sustainable finance by continuing its collaboration with both national and international financial institutions. Throughout the transition to a net-zero economy, the Bank will maintain its leadership in fostering the impact investing ecosystem and continue to steer the sector through innovative solutions.
