Products and communication
Tatra banka considers ESG principles important for responsible financing and its long-term positive effects. Therefore, the bank is considering the effects of its business on the economy, the environment and society. It takes into account ecological and social impacts in connection with products and services.
Environment
We ensure that our activities, products, and services have a positive impact on the environment.
Supporting green initiatives
As pioneers in the CEE region, we issued the first green bank bond to secure funds for financing sustainability projects. We prioritize responsible practices in every aspect, from sourcing electricity from renewable sources to using recycled paper.
Putting a stop to wastage
We promote shared workplaces, electric cars, and hybrid cars. We consistently separate waste, including biological waste, support bicycle commuting, and organize swap events and collections.
Shunning a dark future
We introduce environmentally friendly innovations. Through the digitization of our products and services, our clients no longer have to visit our branches so often. They can open a new account and handle many other tasks from the comfort of their home thanks to the Tatra banka mobile app, Internet bankingTB, and the DIALOG Live line.
Commitment to the environment
Tatra banka holds the ISO 14001 environmental management system certification. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to environmental protection and reducing the negative impact of our business activities.
