TSKB’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
TSKB’s internal environmental impact
Since 2006 has been quantifying all forms of consumption arising from its activities, developing action plans to make improvements, and setting targets. To this end, the Bank regularly measures the electricity, water, fuel, paper, and other inputs that are used and the waste that is generated by the Bank’s service units.
Information and assessments concerning the Bank’s environmental performance in 2006-2010 are presented on page 47 of this report.
TSKB’s external environmental impact
In order to deal with its external environmental impact, TSKB seeks first to identify the environmental and social effects that may be caused by projects that it finances and second to support its credit customers by minimizing these effects by correctly managing them.
In 2005, TSKB pioneered the development in Turkey of a set of environmental risk evaluation tools (Environmental Risk Evaluation Tools - ERET) to be used in identifying the environmental risks that might arise from its lending activities as a bank.
Information and assessments concerning the ERET model and its effectiveness are presented under the section Developments in External Environmental Impact.
| TSKB is focused on making effective use of information technologies in order to protect the environment. |

| The Bank's electronic document management system, which is accessible via the corporate intranet, is also integrated into TSKB's basic banking software. The combination of these two systems not only allows for efficient information management and operational functionality but also supports the Bank's efforts to be mindful of and protect the environment by reducing the amount of paper that is used even as business volumes grow. |
