YAPI KREDI SUSTAINABLE FINANCE FRAMEWORK
Yapı Kredi believes that sustainable financing instruments are an effective tool to channel investments to projects that have demonstrated climate and social benefits and thereby contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals set out by the United Nations. By issuing sustainable financing instruments, Yapı Kredi intends to align its funding strategy with its mission, sustainability strategy and targets.
In 2021, Yapı Kredi published its Sustainable Finance Framework based on the Green Bond Principles (GBP), Social Bond Principles (SBP) and Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG) of International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) and Green Loan Principles (GLP) and Social Loan Principles (SLP) of Loan Market Association (LMA). Under this Framework, Yapı Kredi intends to issue green, social, sustainability finance instruments, which may include bonds (including private placements), commercial paper, loans and promissory notes to finance and/or refinance green and social loans with a positive environmental and social benefit.
Yapı Kredi's Sustainable Finance Framework has four core components. For each sustainable finance instrument issued, Yapı Kredi asserts that it will adopt (i) Use of Proceeds (ii) Process for Project Evaluation and Selection (iii) Management of Proceeds and (iv) Reporting, as set out in this Framework. The Yapı Kredi Sustainable Finance Framework also follows the recommendations of the Green and Social Bond Principles regarding External Review.
Yapı Kredi allocates an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sustainable finance instruments to an eligible loan portfolio of new and existing green and social loans (Eligible Loan Portfolio) in accordance with its Sustainable Finance Framework. The eligible loans are to be funded in whole or in part by an allocation of an amount equal to the proceeds from the sustainable finance instruments.
