More than half of the Bank's personnel commute every day between the two sides of the city, taking advantage of opportunities to travel by sea is an effective way of cutting the Bank's carbon emissions.
COMMUTING BY SEA
The CO2 equivalent of the carbon emissions resulting from TSKB’s transportation and travel activities in 2010 amounted to 2,290 tons, which corresponds to 57% of the Bank’s total carbon emissions the same year. Of this total, only 47 tons was generated by the vehicles which the Bank uses to transport its personnel to and from work. One reason why this figure is so low is the Bank’s encouraging, in line with its strategy of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, personnel who live on the Asian side of İstanbul to use ferries when traveling to and from their jobs on the European side. Because more than half of the Bank’s personnel commute every day between the two sides of the city, taking advantage of opportunities to travel by sea is an effective way of cutting the Bank’s carbon emissions. It also reduces travel times: personnel leaving the Bank’s headquarters near the Kabataş pier can cross over to Üsküdar in just eight minutes’ time.
