“Sustainable Bank of the Year in Eastern Europe” awards: 2008, 2009, and 2010
TSKB is proud to have brought the “Sustainable Bank of the Year Award” in the “Eastern Europe” category home to Turkey for three years in a row.
In 2010 TSKB was cited for the third consecutive year for its contributions to “Sustainable Banking” in the Developing Countries category in Eastern Europe under the auspices of the Sustainable Banking Awards conducted jointly by Financial Times and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Drawing attention for its pioneering role in the financing of renewable energy and environment-related projects, TSKB once again demonstrated that it recognizes and fulfills its responsibilities for a sustainable future not just for Turkey but for the whole world.
In the Financial Times - IFC award program, organizations that distinguish themselves by virtue of their efforts on behalf of the environment and sustainability are assessed every year.
Believing that a more livable world is achievable through responsible measures and initiatives undertaken to address environmental and climate change issues, TSKB intends to continue building upon its successes in this area at the global level in the years ahead as well.
TSKB also received the following awards and recognitions in 2010:
- EMEA Finance Best Equity House in Turkey
