SMBC Strengthens Yapi Kredi’s Sustainable Finance Framework

SMBC partnered with Yapi Kredi, a leading Turkish bank, to enhance and expand its Sustainable Finance Framework (SFF). Acting as a dedicated Sustainable Finance Advisor, SMBC facilitated strategic workshops, guiding Yapi Kredi through key decisions to maximise the framework’s potential while aligning with stringent sustainability standards. SMBC refreshed the framework and collaborated with Yapi Kredi to broaden the scope of eligible sustainable projects for financing under the SFF. By strengthening Yapi Kredi’s Sustainable Finance Framework, SMBC helped position the bank to better meet its ESG ambitions and support debt issuances that align with growing investor expectations.
