Sectoral Decarbonization Targets
Given the increased prevalence of the visible impacts of the climate crisis on social life, all financial sector stakeholders, especially customers and investors, started placing environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks in the focal point of their risk management and governance mechanisms. As developments take place in the regulatory landscape and good practices in the world and in Türkiye, Garanti BBVA monitors these developments, and acts towards being a role model for the sector.
The Bank’s decarbonization targets set for carbon-intensive industries such as energy, automotive, iron & steel, and cement by 2030 have been prepared using the internationally recognized PACTA (Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment) methodology and were publicly disclosed in 2023. In keeping with the ever-improving data quality, Garanti BBVA takes the necessary steps to periodically review update these targets.
