From the TSKB Environment Management Team...

The increase in our efforts on behalf of a sustainable world and our having fully achieved all of the targets which we had set for the reporting period have made it possible for us to publish this report at the "B" level.

In the first sustainability report that we published in 2009, we shared with you the efforts which we had been making for the sake of sustainable banking since the day we began providing service. In the wake of that first report, which Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) accepted at the “C” level, we made it our goal for the latest reporting period to raise our sights by a notch. The increase in our efforts on behalf of a sustainable world and our having fully achieved all of the targets which we had set for the reporting period have made it possible for us to publish this report at the “B” level. In this report, we take pride in having authored yet another first in the Turkish financial services industry.

For us, the fact that we are engaging in a much closer and more systematic communication with our broad stakeholder audience was the most innovative and exciting aspect of this report. We performed a stakeholder analysis in order to render our relationships with our stakeholders more transparent and to fully understand how we are perceived by them. Following a painstakingly conducted survey, we assessed the data which had been collected and we identified new targets for ourselves in line with stakeholders’ views.

We should also talk a bit about the theme of this report. We formulated the theme of this report around the notion of “bicycles and sustainability”. Taking the outstanding environment-friendly nature of bicycles today as our point of departure, we wanted to share with you very brief information about the contributions which bicycles make to sustainability on the separator pages of this report. While doing so, we have also included summarized information about the history of the bicycle which we think will attract your interest.

With the hope of publishing many more reports on how we’ve improved our performance through the involvement of our stakeholders…
