TSKB, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Efforts to combat climate change require that technologies that reduce or replace carbon emissions be introduced quickly and extensively throughout the world. Based on current projections, in order to sustain the world’s economic growth and keep atmospheric CO2 concentrations within manageable levels, by 2050 it will be necessary to generate twice as much energy while producing just about half as much carbon emissions as we do today.

Total greenhouse gas emissions have been increasing steadily since the 1950s, when the process of industrialization started to become globalized. There is now a significant consensus of opinion that the current rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions poses a serious threat to humanity. More and more governments, NGOs, and companies are turning their attentions to the problem. At this critical juncture, banks in every country of the world have important duties in the area of developing sustainable financing models that are also capable of managing the environmental risks that they entail.

Climate change, one of the most crucial issues on the world’s agenda today, is also at the head of TSKB’s environment policy.
TSKB supports investment projects with products that contribute towards preventing climate change while also adhering to an approach that is mindful of environmental and social issues and seeks to reduce their impact at their source.
