FINANCIAL LITERACY THROUGH THE RESPONSIBLE BANKING VIDEO STORIES: Videos on Sustainability

We live in a time when sustainable acting is becoming a dominant part of almost every business, and a growing importance of ESG topics is strategic for successful banking. Sustainability is in the focus of organizations and the entire community in which they operate.

Raiffeisen BANK dd Bosna i Hercegovina is an active and dedicated corporate citizen, trying to increase knowledge regarding different aspects of sustainability. To raise awareness for importance of the sustainability and ESG topics as well as to strengthen the financial literacy in the country, Raiffeisen bank has started numerous activities in this aspect.

One of them is the production of a video series for the Financial News which is broadcasted every night on two national TV stations in the prime time and posted on the bank’s YouTube channel, social networks and Intranet. Two videos have been produced so far, and new videos are yet to come following the future activities of the bank in the sustainability and ESG segments.

Aim of the responsible banking video is to explain the meaning of this concept, which implies dealing with the environment and the community in which a bank operates. Being a responsible banker means attracting investors, higher satisfaction of customers and employees, as well as creating new jobs and more transparency. 

The intention of the second video is to show Raiffeisen bank’s dedication to responsible banking through implementation of sustainability and ESG activities. Raiffeisen bank strives to offer its customers sustainable financial products and services and support them in their transformation towards sustainable future, and it also contributes to reduction of CO2 emissions.

First Green Bond on the Slovak Market

Last year, Tatra banka issued the first green bond on the Slovak market in the amount of 300 mil. EUR and thus confirmed its position as an innovative leader not only in the field of products but also sustainability overall. The use of proceeds was intended to finance the green projects of the bank’s clients. Tatra banka now introduced its “Allocation and Impact report” to disclose the use of these proceeds and the impact of the funded projects on the environment.

Almost 90% of the proceeds were used to finance the "green buildings" category, represented mainly by the residential properties with the highest energy classes. A significant percentage of the allocation was also from the "energy" category, where the bank financed renewable energy projects, primarily the solar energy projects.

Here are some interesting facts from the "Allocation and Impact report":

  • The funded projects’ CO2e savings represent 35,702.50 tons per year, which correspond to the annual electricity consumption of 7,000 homes or 143 million kilometers driven by the average petrol-powered passenger car
  • Although most of the portfolio consists of real estate, up to 55% of savings are generated by the renewable energy projects, which account for less than 6.5% of the portfolio.

Currently, the report is published on the bank's website not only for investors, but also for all those who are interested in the topic of sustainability:
