My Ecological Status

Let's track our carbon footprint via Garanti BBVA Mobile. Let's find out how to reduce it together.

Aware of its responsibility toward its employees, customers, community, and national economy, Garanti BBVA has made the understanding of “Sustainability” the focus of its business for a long time.

We recognize the current risks surrounding us and threatening a sustainable future. With an aim to take good care of the earth and our future, we have been contributing to Turkey's fight against climate change and its transition to a low-carbon economy through practices that will minimize the environmental impact resulting from our own activities.

We also help our customers determine social and environmental sustainability targets by encouraging them to participate in this responsibility-focused transformation.
We know that we can reduce our carbon footprint even with small but sustainable changes in our habits and thus minimize the harm we cause to the planet.

We aim to ensure that our customers develop awareness by tracking their carbon footprint through the Ecological section under the “My Status” menu on Garanti BBVA Mobile, and we thus support them to reduce their carbon footprint with our suggestions. We translate our technological strength into a benefit to touch the lives of people and society and contribute to the sustainability of the earth.

What Is a Carbon Footprint? What Do We Offer Under My Ecological Status Section?

A carbon footprint is a measure of the harm to the environment caused by human activities in terms of the amount of the resulting greenhouse gas, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. The carbon footprint can be broken down into two parts as direct (primary) and indirect (secondary): The primary footprint is the measure of CO2 emissions from our activities such as domestic energy consumption and transportation while the secondary footprint is the measure of CO2 emissions during the whole life cycle of products we buy, such as manufacturing and carriage.

On the Ecological section under the “My Status” menu on Garanti BBVA Mobile, we show your carbon footprint calculated based on your bills and gas expenses and expressed as CO2, water, and tree equivalent.

Under the assessment section, we present the comparison of carbon footprint calculations from the last two years.

In the Sustainable Information section, we provide information on how to minimize our environmental impact.

With the ecological tasks we offer in the area of Ecological Steps, we support our customers to set goals for themselves and take sustainable steps. Customers, who save fuel, paper and electricity by completing their tasks, are also entitled to receive a sustainability certificate that we have prepared specially for them and a surprise award.

You can thereby support the reduction of paper consumption and carbon emission. Moreover, you can opt for a digital statement and track all details such as account/card activities, monthly statement, and remaining balance quickly and securely via Garanti BBVA Mobile or Internet; you can thus protect nature by reducing your carbon footprint. In return for your contributions to nature, we take part in the fight against the climate crisis by delivering seed balls in hard-to-reach areas with ecoDrone on your behalf.

You can ensure a more accurate calculation of your carbon footprint by making your payments for utility bills such as water, natural gas, and electricity and fuel expenses via Garanti BBVA.

Please note that your carbon footprint data available on Garanti BBVA Mobile is calculated with a delay of one day. There may be deviations in calculations due to the institution payments reflected on bills. We are currently working on developing a different calculation method for our customers using electricity obtained from sustainable resources.
