Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG)

Sustainability plays a central role in development goals shared by countries around the world. By conducting our business environmentally and socially friendly, together we can avoid E&S risks and by doing so, create a sustainable business model. Through our Environmental and Social Responsibility policy, we aim to address issues such as responsible living of natural resources, restoring the nature, occupational health and safety, accessibility of financial services for all levels of society and better fulfilment of corporate social responsibility through our financing.

Globally, banks and financial institutions play important roles in achieving sustainability in the business world. Under the same principle as credit risk rating and mitigation, banks can assess their customers’ environmental and social risk, and protect their customers’ from E&S risks by partnering with them to help them fulfill their environmental and social responsibility.

Moreover, Trade and Development Bank will contribute to gender equality efforts by ensuring through gender mainstreaming, that the needs and interests, effective participation, and resultant benefits of women and men are equally prompted within the organization and its investment through gender-responsive assessment, consultation, design implementation, and monitoring and evaluation processes.
